NNL is on the ascendancy – Aluo

The Nigeria National League (NNL) chairman, George Aluo, has disclosed that the fortunes of the second tier league in the country will skyrocket with what they are brining on board.

While addressing the media Wednesday in Abuja, Aluo said the board has mapped out strategies that will see the NNL develop into a competitive and violence-free league in the country.

He celebrated the board members even as he reminded them of the high expectations of the NFF and Nigerians to restore the true professional status of the NNL.

“At our board meeting held on Tuesday, we charged the Chief Executive Officer to embark on an aggressive sponsorship drive to secure sponsors as we strive to rebrand the league. A five-member Rules and Regulations/Club Licensing Committee was approved by the board,” Aluo started.

He stated that the board also agreed to upgrade its media and ICT units of the NNL and to promised to computerize the Secretariat to enhance proficiency.
