The project acquired by the then GFF leadership, will be Kaba Bajo-led
administration’s first structural implementation assignment since
taking over office.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, GFF president Lamin Kabba Bajo said: ‘this is
our first project and a challenge and we will make sure we do it
properly and we are not found wanting.’
While expressing optimism, Kabba continued: ‘we don’t want it to be
just a white wash (painting) but something of a standard structure.’
‘I think they (the company) are brave to take up this considering the
noise in the football’, he joked.
GFF’s Bakary voiced similar sentiments. Shreeji
Company’s representative at the signing ceremony thanked the federation for the
partnership and trust promising to deliver to expectation.]]>
