Speaking with www.theajasanews.com at the venue, Moses explained the reason for enbarking on the journey,
“I want to give back to the society. Remember this is where I started from and so there’s every need for me to give back to the society that made me who I am today. It is my absolute joy and privilege to see the fans turn out en masse to witness the official launch of Simon Ben Academy. I want to thank everyone who came out today. Honestly speaking I can’t thank everyone enough. All I can do is I wish them the safest journey back to their respective destinations,
“Joshua Obaje was a player I was actually looking up to while growing up, today he was part of the players who played against my Academy. The Obaje brothers Joshua and Godwin were in attendance, Benjamin Francis and a lot of NPFL stars and I must thank them all for coming.” He said.
