“I told you (Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com) during our Zonal Preliminaries
in Ijebu-Ode that we are in this competition not for just participation sake.
We want to make a statement in this competition so that people can see that Hensen
Demonstration School is not only leading in terms of academy, but also involved
in sports too. We have put in so much hard-work in training these kids and by
the grace of God, victory is certain. We are set for the final,” Uba told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
