THE NEW LOOK OF NIGERIA BOXING FEDERATION IN NUGA - Opeyemi commends Boxing Board

 Good morning to Nigeria Boxing Federation Board and Management, and all protocol dully observed .



I will first like to extend my appreciation to God Almighty and to Nigeria Boxing Federation Board who through their efforts ensure boxing inclusion to University games (NUGA), this efforts has gone a long way to pave way for some of us in the practice of the art and give us hope of sustainability. 


It is not only that you have succeeded in ensuring that Boxing will be a scoring sport in NUGA but that will also feature as a scoring sport in FASU in which LASU will be co-hosting with UNILAG sometime early 2024.


Having said that, I want to appeal to all club coaches to encourage their boxers to further their education by obtaining their Jamb form and choose any higher institution of their choice for their own good. 


The opportunity I have today is because Iof my resilience and never given up hope that has placed some of us to this position that we are today. 


I will like to borrow a grassroot coach quote in person of  Adekunle Kazeem "Coach Always" which says and I quote "Boxers are not Street Hunches". 


This kids are seeing us as role model, let's guide them alright and lead them to a better tomorrow. It saddened my heart to see some of the ex international taken menial job while they could have been in better position in any establishment they find themselves.


The following people are doing well in their chosen field because they have education, such as our own Adeoti Yinka (NSCDC), Kehinde Obareh (U.S Police), Segun Ajose (Nigeria Army), Coach Mohammed M.sc (Nigeria Army), Adedayo Agbana (Civil Servant), Babatunde Laguda (NBF), my humble self Akinola Opeyemi (LASU Coach), to mention but few.


In conclusion, I want to inform us that Lagos State University, Ojo campus is willing to offer admission to any interested Boxers who is willing to further his or her education, be it through Jamb, sandwich, Direct Entry or Diploma. The Diploma and Sandwich form are out now on sale.


If you will like to make Lagos State University your plug, contact me Coach Opeyemi Akinola on 08058015999 or 08035690862.
