Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has approved the immediate release of two buses, a 32-seater and an 18-seater, to Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan to support the club’s activities.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, on Sunday.
Mr Oyelade said that the gesture came on the heels of Shooting Stars’ impressive victory over CS Sfaxien of Tunisia in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round at Abeokuta.
According to him, the approval underscores the state government’s commitment to support 3SC as they represent Oyo state on the continental stage.
Shooting Stars’ participation in the current continental competition marks the club’s first appearance in a continental competition in 27 years.
