Former Plateau United FC and Nigerian International, Nathaniel Anyawale has showered praises on the Honourable Gbenga Elegbeleye led Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL board, over the Youth League All-Star project.
He made this expression after Team NPFL thrashed Legacy Football Academy 3-1 at the main bowl of the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.

“The benefits of such projects is always massive and the league clubs would definitely emerge the major beneficiaries.”

Agada Shines with Brace as Orijent Beat Karlovac 2-0
Nigerian forward Charles Adah Agada scored twice as HNK Orijent secured a 2-0 away victory over Karlovac 1919 in the Croatian SuperSport Prva NL on Saturday.
Orijent produced an impressive performance at the Branko Čavlović-Čavlek Stadium in Karlovac to claim all three points in the league encounter.
Agada, a former Mavlon FC of Lagos attacker, was the standout performer, finding the net twice to help the visitors overcome their hosts and strengthen their position in the league campaign.
Orijent went into the half-time break with a 1-0 advantage before extending their lead in the second half.
The Nigerian striker completed his brace with the goal that made it 2-0 in the 57th minute.
Karlovac were unable to find a response as Orijent held on to their advantage to secure victory away from home.
The result represents an important boost for Orijent, who will look to build on the performance in their subsequent league fixtures.
For Agada, the brace underlines his value to the team as Orijent continue their campaign in Croatia’s second-tier football competition.
He has built an important role on loan at the club and has successfully established himself as a regular fixture in their lineup, appearing in all 8 league matches so far this season.
