The recent improvement and growth in Nigerian football and
particularly, the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), has been commended by foremost grassroots football
promoter and owner of 36 Lion football club, Alhaji Gafar Olawale Liameed.
He commended the Mallam Shehu Dikko-led League Management
Company (LMC), for taking Nigerian football league away from its perennial crises
that had somewhat stagnated the growth of the league.
"l want to commend the board of the LMC over the
impressive strides made by our league in recent time. It shows that if we set
our minds to a purpose, we can collectively achieve so much," Gafar
started.
Speaking further, he expressed satisfaction on the
impressive turn out of crowd to games this season, which he also attributed to
the efforts of the Nigeria Football Referees Association, in ensuring that
officiating are free and fair.
"You understand that when officiating is free and fair,
the matter of security would be minimal. And like last year, we have continued
to record draws and victories for away teams. And it is a testimony that the
LMC are not resting on their oars, “ the award - winning football entrepreneur
added.
Continuing, he also praised the league body on its policy on
youth football development, that ensures league sides promote and feature a
specific number of its youth players in games.
According to him," this policy on youth football would
go a long way in encouraging the development and growth of grassroots football,"he said.
