“Today we received a wonderful news from China. One of my village youngsters Miss Edeh Osinachi Jennifer is currently camping with her U17 team in China.
“Her mother has been so worried because football has become a major distraction to her daughter and that she wants her to stop. The program administrator counseled her mother to let her (Osinachi) be. Stopping her totally will further affect her studies negatively he warned.
“He met with Osinachi after much discussion, and agreed to create a balance between her academics and her football career. She was allowed to attend several training camps within the country during the period of our lesson program.
“She wrote Jamb on the 23rd of April before meeting up with her team in Lagos from where they eventually travelled to China. Osinachi is a star in the making and she is a living testimony of our mantra From Ngwo to the World.”
