Former Super Eagles forward and captain Nwankwo Kanu said that grassroots football development remains a key factor in discovering great players for the country.
Kanu stated this at a five-day football scouting exercise to identify and recruit young talents at the Sani Abacha stadium on Thursday in Kano.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the exercise was organised by the Kano-based grassroots club Azuba FC, designed to provide a platform for young players to excel.
