ABOUT THE FEMI AJAYI MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES:
This lecture series started last year in honour of our departed Founder, friend, brother and Colleague Femi Ajayi, who when he was alive was passionate about the game of football and also about Nigeria as a whole, he was also greatly involved in a lot of charitable projects hence the plan to merge all of these together as our way of remembering him and also contributing our quota towards developing the Nigerian Game.
The inaugural speaker of the FA Memorial lecture series was Mr Colin Udoh, and we must say he did a very good job talking about the “Ultimate Fan”.
This year we have decided to shift our focus to the Nigerian League and we have selected the topic “Bringing Back The Glory Of The Nigerian League”
