Attah: Expect more NNL matches on TV in the second stanza
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigeria National League (NNL), Emmanuel Attah has assured that more NNL matches would be taken live on television
when action begins in the second stanza.
Attah who spoke last week in Abuja at a press conference said the NNL has concluded plans to bring more matches live on Global TV.
‘In the first stanza, we took matches live from Abuja and some other venues like Lagos and Enugu. In the second stanza more of our matches will come live and
we intend to go to more venues.
‘We say a big thank you to our partners Global TV for sharing in our vision of putting the league on TV. For now, there is no money accruing to the league but our vision is to keep making the league more competitive and attractive to potential sponsors.’
Attah stressed that the NNL board is working round the clock to secure sponsors for the league insisting that the effort would soon start yielding dividend
against the backdrop of the fact that the NNL this season is a lot better.
‘Everybody can see that the NNL this season is running very well. Clubs are winning on the road and virtually all matches have been played without any
violence.
‘Officiating has been good. Our appeal is that corporate Nigeria should back this laudable efforts,’ Attah said.
