to his billionaire son,Shina was designed to empower youths and
promote Unity in the Oke-Ogun district of Oyo State. It was organized
in partnership with Oyo State Ministry
of Youths and Sports and Oyo state Football Association.
“As much as this tournament is in the
memory of my late father, Professor Moshood Abiola Peller, it is
noteworthy to know that it was also created to improve the
development of grass root football not just in Oke-Ogun but also Oyo
state in general. The tournament is nothing political.” Chief Shina
