NFF 1st Vice President, Barrister
Seyi Akinwunmi has urged corporate institutions to give backing to the Nigeria
National League in order for the new Board to be able to fully implement its
laudable programmes for taking the second tier of Nigerian domestic football to
new heights of excellence.
The experienced administrator and
legal luminary, who was Chairman of the ad-hoc committee on governing structure
for the NNL, made this charge before formally handing over to the new
Independent Chairman, Hon. Chidi Ofo Okenwa at the Congress of the body which
took place in Abuja on Thursday.
Also at the Congress were NFF 2nd
Vice President/LMC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, NFF General Secretary, Dr.
Mohammed Sanusi, Enugu State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Hon. Charles
Ndukwe, Women League chairman Aisha Falode and Chairman of the Nation-Wide
League One, Alh. Mohammed Alkali.
Okenwa, alongside the NNL Chief
Executive Officer, Hon. Bukola Olopade, expressed their excitement and great
hope for the NNL, and disclosed that the new board will work assiduously hard
to re-position the second tier and in the process attract necessary corporate
support.
The new NNL Board is composed of
Hon. Chidi Ofo Okenwa (Independent Chairman), Sunday Longbap (Independent
Director), Oladimeji Ladi Thompson (Director), Dodo Isah (Director), Farouk
Yarma (Director), Tunji Onatolu (Director), Ifeanyi Onyibe (Director), Amos
Nworie (Director) and Hon. Olopade (CEO). The Chief Operating Officer is
