“When I was coming, I flew in with some of the NPFL coaches, Daniel Ogunmodede who is my coach at Remo Stars and coach Fidelis Ilechukwu. I’m actually familiar with them so we got in together and it was a great feeling.

“For like two seasons, I’ve been the one winning the best goalkeeper of the season and I didn’t get the call-up, but I believed I had to keep doing what I knew how to do. I knew one day it would come, and I’m very glad it has come,” he added.
