“However, I can confidently tell you that, with the efforts of our technical crew and the support of the management, we have been able to recruit quality players, who would surely make our team strong and a delight to behold in the season.

“In our team now, we have some young and tested players. Some of them are coming from NPFL sides, while we were able to hook some quality players we noticed during our campaign in the NNL”.

“For instance, we have Ayo Adejubu, a very young but talented player from Sunshine Stars, Kehinde Adedipe, an experience player, also from Sunshine Stars, Dare Olatunji, who has played continental football with Enyimba, just to mention a few.

“From the NNL, we recruited good legs like Aniete Uko from Vandtezzer, the second highest goal scorer in the NNL last season, Kola Daniel also from Vandrezzer, we have Bafan Augustine from Niger Tornadoes and few others”.

“With all these quality players teaming up with our old regulars, I can assure you that we will compete for the league title”, stated Kabongo, as the 3SC team manager is popularly known.
