Agbateyiniro gifts N100,000 each to players, technical crew of Pessu Primary School

The Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Comr. Agbateyiniro Weyinmi Isaac, has pledged N100,000.00 (One hundred thousand naira) each, to players and members of the technical crew of Pessu Primary School, Warri.

Pessu Primary School Football Team, emerged champion of the 2025 Zenith Bank Delta Headmasters’ Cup, in a competition which featured over 7,000 public and private primary schools across Delta State.

The Warri South Local Government Boss, who played host to the victorious team at the Warri South Council Main Secretariat in Warri, Delta State, Monday March 2, enjoined scouts from Arsenal, Manchester United and other big clubs around the world, to take a look at the raw talents from Pessu Primary School, Warri.

According to him, if the pupils can attain such feat without the enabling environment and basic training tools, “then you can imagine if these our younger ones, were in Europe or in other parts of the world.”
