The CAF president stated this during his visit to the Lagos state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola and also used the medium to invite the governor to the Gala Night. “Your Excellency, you have massively supported youth development and African football. We shall be greatly honoured if you can find time out of your extremely busy schedule to join us at the event tomorrow (Thursday) which celebrates the best of African football.
