The message from Dave Pemberton (Project Manager) of Lord’s Taverners was delivered by former Nigerian football international Edema Fuludu (CSED National Coordinator) during the presentation of donated cricket equipment to students of Government Day Secondary School, Asaba.
Fuludu informed the students that Lord’s Taverners major goal is to make sports accessible to the children of the less privileged who ordinarily would not be able to purchase some expensive equipment that will enable them to take part in some sports.
