Oyo state government has pleaded with players and officials of the Shooting Stars Sporting Club of Ibadan, (3SC) to give it time to fulfill the promises made to the players and officials of the club who won double in 1998 the domestic league title and the West Africa Football Union Cup during the military government of Commissioner of Police Amen Oyakhire .
The demand for fulfilment of a promise of rewards made to the Shooting Stars Sports Club squad which won double titles in 1998 is being looked into by the present administration under Governor Seyi Makinde and will be addressed.
The Oyo State Commissioner for Youths and Sports Honourable Seun Fakorede gave this assurance on Monday.
The Sports Commissioner said Governor Seyi Makinde would not want any worker in the state to be denied of his entitlements and so will seriously address it.
It would be recalled that the Military Governor of Oyo State in 1998 Com-Pol Amen Oyakhire had promised to give each member of the Shooting Stars Sports (3SC) squad which won both the domestic league title and the West Africa Football Union Cup in the year, a plot of land and about one million naira as rewards of their feat.
However, the promise is yet to be fulfilled twenty two years after.
