Olopade prays for 3SC

09.07.2008

Ogun State Commissioner for Sports, Bukola Olopade, has joined thousands of supporters of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan in praying for the return of the team to the mainstream of Nigerian football.

Ozogula, as he is fondly called, was of the belief that a club like 3SC should not be playing in the lower rank of the Nigerian league.

Speaking in Abeokuta last weekend, Olopade who has succeeded in steering Gateway FC of Abeokuta back to the premier leasgue at the end of the last season, argued that the return of the club to the elite league next season was important.

“By the grace of God, Shooting will return to the premier league next season," said the commissioner during a short chat with an Ibadan-based television station.
