Former Flying Eagles star, Christian Pyagbara is on trial at Nigeria Professional Football League side, Shooting Stars.
Pyagbara featured in the Oluyole Warriors pre-season friendly against Tradesafe FC on Wednesday morning.
The encounter took place at the Ebiedei Stadium, Shagamu.
The former Enyimba forward has been without a club since leaving Latvia side, JFK Ventspils in 2020.
Pyagbara last featured in the NPFL with Heartland in 2019.
The 27-year-old forward started his career with the defunct Sharks now Rivers United.
Meanwhile, A former President of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, Legborsi Pyagbara, has attributed the delay in the clean-up of polluted sites in Ogoni land to political interference in the affairs of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project.
Pyagbara said this during a press briefing in Port Harcourt, Rivers State to mark the 2023 edition of the World Indigenous Peoples Day.
Pyagbara, who is the Executive Director, African Indigenous Foundation for Energy and Sustainable Development, noted that until the leadership of HYPREP was detached from politics, the body’s progress would remain sluggish.
He explained that the continued interference of the political class in HYPREP activities was responsible for the frequent change of its Project Coordinator.
He stated, “I am not dissatisfied with the slow pace of progress of HYPREP, having been part of some of the things. I know that there are some systemic challenges in HYPREP that we need to deal with, which I have raised on several occasions.

“The constant change in the leadership of HYPREP, both as Project Coordinator and Chairman of the governing council, does not bring about sustainable intervention.
“In less than seven years, HYPREP has six chairmen of the governing council. We had Amina that started the process, when Amina left, Jubril took over, when Jubril left it was Zawa, after Zawa there was Mahmood, after Mahmood there was Sharon.
“After Sharon there was Abdullahi, six chairmen in a space of seven years. So, where can there be policy consistency in that sort of environment?”
Pyagbara said the situation had to change so HYPREP could deliver on its mandate.
