According to him, Bosso has used his coaching career to stand against vices such as age cheats, substance and drug abuse and other social vices prevalent among young minds.
“Coach Bosso has inculcated in young people those good virtues that will present them as future champions.
“I also commended the NFF Technical Department for the decision to further retain Coach Bosso to continue his good works,” he said.
Amaraizu, who is also a coach and sports administrator, said that young minds and players needed strategic leadership direction and exposure to Olympic sports, which Bosso had brought to the table.
“Coach Bosso, who is also the President of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association, has continued to imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship, discipline, respect and friendship for a better society for young Nigerians under his mentorship,” he said.
He noted that “POCACOV is involved in societal reforms as a kick start solution for a better society using forums and activities-based approaches to get across to the youths.
