“We want to monitor our sports men and women wherever they are in the country, continent and abroad and to help those that need help if needs be.
The only way we can do this is to have a data base where their names and profile/data would be captured. There is also dire need to honour our heroes and heroines past and present through the establishment of Hall of Fame”, Elegbeleye disclosed.
