Investing in Youth: Governor Lawal Highlights Grassroots Development as a Top Priority in Mandate to Coach Chelle

Focusing on the ground-level impact, the meeting between Governor Dauda Lawal and Eric Chelle has set the stage for an unprecedented talent hunt in Zamfara State.

The Governor emphasized the need for “right structure and exposure,” calling for the rebuilding of local facilities and the strengthening of school sports programs.

Coach Chelle, echoing this sentiment, emphasized that “sustainable growth must begin at the grassroots.” This partnership isn’t just about high-level talks; it involves a commitment to capacity building for local coaches and a systematic approach to identifying under-20 talent.

With the Super Eagles handler now personally invested in the state’s progress, Zamfara is positioning itself as a key contributor to the future of Nigerian football.
