A 69-year old Nigerian, I obtained my first football coaching certificate in 1961; but became a full-time football coach in 1974. I later attended coaching and attachment programmes in Germany (3 months in 1976) and Brazil (6 months in 1981).
I have handled some leading club teams in Nigeria, and the Nigeria National Team (Silver at 1984 African Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire, and to 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan).
I was on contract appointment with Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (1998-2001).
I was designated member of Technical Committee and Technical Instructor of Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) in 1988 (to date), and Technical Instructor (1994) and member of Technical Committee (1998) of Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (to date). In these capacities I have been part of several development programmes of the two bodies worldwide - including running coaching courses.
