Ojukwu said this has he revealed that two of his players in middle blocker Boaz Odour and utility player Emmanuel Misiko sibling to General Service Unit middle blocker Shadrack have crossed over to Kenya Army.
“My joy is to see my players crossing over to the big clubs. This gives me satisfaction that I’m doing something right. Mine is to nurture the talents,” said Ojukwu.
Fast-rising Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) setter Stephen Otieno is among Ojukuw’s product.
KU will be making their second appearance in the Division Two League that gets underway on Friday at the Nyayo National Stadium handball and volleyball outside courts in Nairobi.

We don’t want to go ahead of ourselves and say we will qualify for the National League this season, but we are work in progress and definitely in future we would be eyeing the slot to the top tier,” said Ojukwu.
“We have not played our opponents before but we have played with various players from these teams and so we will wait and see how it, some of these players are my products and i will be out to see how they turn up for their respective clubs,” concluded the tactician
