The South-West Coordinator of the Gusau 4+4 Solidarity Forum, Ade Segun, has described the grassroots football development vision of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President Ibrahim Gusau as a strategic initiative aimed at laying a solid foundation for the future of Nigerian football.

Speaking after reviewing preparations for the forthcoming Gusau/Allan Pre-season Tournament, which is scheduled to kick off soon in Katsina State, Ade said Ibrahim Gusau has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to grassroots football development since assuming office as President of the Nigeria Football Federation in 2022.

According to him, the NFF under Gusau has deliberately shifted attention to one of the most critical but previously under-emphasized aspects of Nigerian football by creating structures that prioritize talent discovery, youth participation, and sustainable football development.

He noted that over the past four years, Gusau’s administration has introduced and strengthened programmes designed to identify and nurture young football talents across the country.
