Technical Director of Kwara Football Academy, Paul Ashworth, has described the NNPC/Shell Cup for All Nigeria Secondary Schools as a good competition to boost the development of youngsters in the country.
The KFA Secondary School, Ilorin, is debuting in the competition this year and the school has qualified for the finals after beating Govenment Arabic College, Gwale, Kano 5-3 in the second semi-finals.
"This is a credit to Nigerian football." Ashworth said.
Ashworth who entered the history books as the first Englishman to coach in Russia said the KFA Secondary School will continue to participate in subsequent editions.
"It's good for our students because this is the first time the KFA Secondary School will compete in the Shell Cup. We intend to make this an annual event for the students to contribute to their development.
"The long term goal is to make them develop into professional footballers," Ashworth said.
He applauded the performance of students from other schools that reached the last four.
