What a big loss to Enugu state football and Nigeria football in general. COACH SUPREMO JANGANZA Supremo Chukwu a man that encourages both the young and the old, I will never forget you. You took me like a son and a brother, we worked hand in hand in trying to ameliorate football in Enugu state.

You helped to discover talents in Enugu and paved way even to the ones that thought they have lost hope in football. You came up with the concept of organising friendly matches against professional league sides as to see if they can recruit our boys. Each time i invite you for any program concerning football in Enugu State you always give me your 100% attention despite all odds. You are indeed a man with a Golden heart.

If only we can turn back the hands of time, Rest in the Bossom of the Lord for all is as God wills it. Adieu Sir till we meet to part no more. From me Ezigbo Mmadu as you fondly call me.”
