He said this while featuring on the maiden edition of the Kwara SWAN Sports Hard Talk.

Mallam Ibrahim Bako explained that the upgrading of facilities such as the hostel, lush green pitches and qualified teachers employed for the students was as a result of the unwavering support by administration of Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

He advised Government to look into the direction of how the academy is loosing big money to scouts who always come for trials, by sponsoring players from the college on training tour and possible transfers which is poised to improve the revenue base of the state .

“I want say unequivocally that Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has done well for the academy and to reciprocate his gesture, government should look at the direction of scouting from us to improve revenue.”
