“I am ready to give my best to my new club as I prepare to join my teammates on Saturday over there in Romania,” Kelachukwu said.

In his reaction, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ejike Ugboaja FC, Christopher Ejike Ugboaja, said the Kelachukwu professional contract with the Romanian club will open doors for others, adding that they’ve got good players in the club who can be the likes of Ronaldo, Messi, Okocha, Kanu and the rest of great players in the world.

He said the objective of the club is to raise good players and send them abroad where they will come back home in future to serve their fatherland.

“I served Nigeria as a basketball player in all grade competitions, including Olympics, so what we are doing here is to train players who will come back to serve their fatherland just as I did,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kelachukwu has departed Nigeria on Thursday night through Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to join his new teammates in Romania on Friday.
