The President of Nigeria
Football Federation, NFF, Mr. Amaju Pinnick has re-affirmed the Federation’s
support for the Nigeria Pitch Awards.
He noted that the annual
Awards have become an anniversary of some sort staged to identify, honour and
celebrate Nigeria’s talented football players and other officials like
referees, clubs/teams, coaches and journalists among others.
Pinnick praised
Matchmakers Consult International, organisers of the Awards, and also commended
the various State Governors who have at various times identified with and
supported the Awards.
The NFF President noted
that the Awards, which inaugural edition took place in Calabar in 2013 have
been credible, transparent and widely accepted. “My interactions with some
football stakeholders and football journalists across the nation, have
convinced me that the Nigeria Pitch Awards is one of the legacies we can
bequeath to the next generation,” Pinnick said.
Pinnick also stated that
the Nigeria Football Federation had been partnering with the organisers because
the Awards have been spot-on with regards to integrity. “We enjoin Nigerians
from all walks of life to continue to give support to this cause. We also
encourage all voters across the length and breadth of the nation to continue to
participate and support the Nigeria Pitch Awards.”
Shina Philips, President
of the Nigeria Pitch Awards, expressed the desire of the organizers to continue
to uphold the noble ideals of integrity and credibility that have endeared
millions of people to the Awards.
Meanwhile, Matchmakers
Consult International in conjunction with all award partners, have scheduled a
media parley for Friday, 13th January 2017 in Lagos. The event will be an
opportunity for the organisers to interact with and celebrate their winners and
voters.
