“Chief Mike Umeh has played and continues to exert an important and invaluable role in Nigerian sports activities especially in football games competition. Since the days of Rangers International Football Club, he has supported players with his resources, so it will be a great omission when the history of Nigerian sports is written without outlining boldly the roles he played for the upliftment of football in the country.
