Mr. Agu Imo, Lagos-based lawyer and Convener of Sports and Entertainment Lawyers Association Limited by Guarantee is also present to train the participating young footballers while the camp lasts.

Imo listed those variables that young football players must take cognisance of before their efforts could be adequately rewarded. According to him, self discipline is key to outstanding success in football career.
