TUFACE FLOATS FOOTBALL CLUB

Multiple award winner, Innocent 'Tuface' Ujah Idibia, has scored another first with the floating of a new football club named Hypertek FC.

NFC reliably gathered that arrangement is currently in top gear by the musician and his company to launch the football club in FESTAC Town.

Although the artiste had over the years shown interest in basketball which he often plays with his friends, it was learnt that he decided to float the football club as part of his contribution to encourage talented youths at the grassroots level.

“He is only trying to identify with the people in the grassroots and Hypertek FC is just to encourage youths who have talents,” stated a family source, adding that he is currently shopping for a coach who can help him groom young talents who can represent Nigeria in international soccer competitions in the future.
