According to him, first among the positive changes he planned to bring on, is to build a permanent site for the club, which will house a standard players’ hostel, training pitch, gym and other amenities that can be found in such a place.

“I have lots of lofty plans for this club. We will build a permanent site for Shooting Stars before the end of this administration, we will have hostel so that all of you will be together, not that some people will be here and others there, under me, that will stop.

“There will be training pitches, gym, lounge, restaurant, coaches’ hostel and other facilities that will make it a very conducive place”, Honourable Salami assured

He disclosed that while he has reached out to the Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde on the possibility of getting a land for that purpose, he revealed further that he has taken bold steps to attract sponsors, to make the fulfilment of his dreams easier.

“I am already talking to the government, I have told the governor to give me a land, I want to build a permanent site. If the government does not have money to build it, no problem, just give me the land. I’m already talking to sponsors, that’s why you have not being seeing me.

“I’m moving and talking to sponsors to come and invest in Shooting Stars and we will give them sponsorship rights like jerseys and pitch panels,and on our busses, those conversations are going on”, stated the astute sports administrator.

He however said the actualisation of all these plans depend largely on the players, noting that they have a big role to play to make it happen.

“But if I’m doing all these, to whom much is given, much is expected, you too need to help and support me. This man that has those kind of vision, what can we do to pay him back. It is just to get good results, do your best to get the job done on the pitch”, said the 3SC boss.
