Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state Thursday received the UEFA Champions League Trophy, even as he urged African continent to tap into the opportunities the game of football present.

The governor added that tapping into the benefits of football would help the continent grow its economy and alleviate poverty.

Fashola who spoke after receiving the trophy at the State House, Ikeja as part of the ongoing trophy tour in Lagos, said "millions of children on the streets can benefit from the enterprise the game of football brings, and that opportunities abound in the round leather game, which has become a major economic contributor to global development."

 

Super Eagles striker, Ikechukwu Uche has said that he was  surprised by coach Stephen Keshi's declaration that he was an undisciplined player hence he was dropped from his list of players for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Uche has not played for the Eagles since the 2013 Nations Cup where he was used sparringly by coach Keshi.

And despite being the highest  scoring Nigeria striker in the European League, Keshi has turned his back on the Villarreal of Spain player.

He said his reason for not including Uche in his plans was because the player was badly behaved and he rarely played to instructions.
