NPFL writes FCPCC on illegal Top Scorer Award
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has again frowned at the deliberate flouting of its naming right by unscrupulous corporate organizations and their collaborators as organisers.
The Chairman of the NPFL, Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye made the observation on the heels of an announced Eunicell Boot Award for the highest goal scorer in the just ended 2024/25 season.
Elegbeleye said the league appreciates value adding schemes such as the proposed payment of N3.6m awarded to Anas Yusuf, but he insisted that there are laid down procedures for organizations to partner with the League in organising awards.
“It is not right for any persons or organisations to use the name of the NPFL and announce an award without recourse to the asset owners.
“We are going to use every legal channel to protect our asset from this ambush of the NPFL. We will write to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission so that this illegal activities will stop once for all”, the NPFL boss stated.
He said that the NPFL has the identity of the organisers of the award and has therefore warned the organisers to desist it such the forthwith in their interest.
“There must come a time when we must have to put a stop to end impunity no matter how long the illegality has been going on. This is the time and we must get things right”, Elegbeleye concluded
