Fuji Star Saheed Osupa Lauds Makanjuola’s Impact On Grassroots Football Devt

Veteran Fuji musician King Saheed Osupa has applauded the contribution of the founder of Water FC Academy of Abuja, Makanjuola Nureni, to the development of grassroots football in Nigeria.
The iconic musician gave the commendation when he paid a courtesy visit to the FIFA licensed football agent, widely known as MK, in Abuja.

Osupa highlighted MK’s extensive efforts in nurturing young talent and empowering underprivileged youth through the sport. Referring to him as a “devoted supporter of the masses” and a “lovely brother”, the music icon expressed admiration for MK’s significant impact both on and off the football pitch.

“Mr. Nureni Muala Kajola Kajolowo is one of the most respected football agents in Nigeria,” Osupa stated. “He has tirelessly worked to elevate numerous Nigerian footballers and has played a vital role in advancing the game at the grassroots level.”

The founder of Water FC, MK Makanjuola is recognised for his community-focused approach to talent development. The Abuja-based academy currently supports over 36 young athletes, providing not only technical training but also lessons in moral responsibility and discipline. Osupa likened the academy to a “charity home,” emphasising its inclusive and socially driven model.

In addition to his contributions in football, MK has facilitated visa processing for more than 2,000 Nigerians seeking opportunities abroad, earning a reputation as one of the country’s most effective and trusted visa consultants.

Water FC has established itself as a launching pad for aspiring footballers, with several of its players going on to represent Nigeria at international levels. Osupa’s visit underscores the increasing recognition of the critical role private football academies play in shaping the future of Nigerian sports.

“May the Almighty continue to support you as you nurture our country’s talent,” concluded Osupa in a heartfelt message.
