The Committee also expressed deep appreciation to the Federal Government, through the National Government Sport Commission, for the special intervention fund for the Nigeria Premier Football League to strengthen the league’s profile, increase its commercial value and build a robust football economy for Nigeria.
While noting Government’s promise to extend similar intervention to the Nigeria Women Football League, the Committee made an impassioned appeal to Government, through the NSC, to also extend support to the Nigeria National League (NNL) and Nigeria Nation-Wide League One (NLO).
