Uwua who completed a training course in German with Bundesliga side, Mainz05 lectured his players on the different match winning strategies and playing patterns.
The session began with a lecture programme with illustrations on the pitch board as his assistants and players paid rapt attention, before a question and answer session that lasted for almost three hours.
The day then ended with an evening training session at the Aper Aku stadium playing turf.
