‘I want to use this opportunity to commend the stakeholders, supporters and fans for keeping faith with the club, and also urge them to step up their support for the club, so that together we can realize the set objectives’. he said.
The Law Graduate assured the officials and players of the club that all necessary incentives will be made available as at when due, as a way of bringing out the best in them.
