Office of the Grassroots Sports Development in the Office of the Lagos State Governor has commended the Golden Eaglets for winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup for a record fourth time.

Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Grassroots Sports Development to Governor Raji Fashola, Prince Wale Oladunjoye, said the exploits of Coach Manu Garba and his team at the UAE 2013 should be commended.

"This was a deserved feat for a team of young and promising talents who have great future lies ahead of them,"Oladunjoye said. "That a crop of young players rose to the world limelight shows that more effort should be channeled into grassroots sports development," the SSA, whose Office pioneered the Governor's Cup Lagos Tennis Championship, Lagos Tertiary Games and the Adopt- A-Talent Sports Programme where athletes are groomed with education to become complete and self sustained stars in the future, added.
