Nigeria Premier League (NPL) Board and the 20 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clubs have scheduled the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, August 29.
Davidson Owumi, the Chief Operating Officer in a notice of the AGM to all the clubs explained that the date will allow for a very effective organization of the season’s activities.
The notice to the clubs also stated that the Draw Event for the 2023/24 season would still hold on the same date as the AGM in Abuja.
The clubs were reminded that player registration which commenced earlier will continue. They were urged to use the available window before kickoff to complete the documentation process for their squad.
After their inauguration, this will be the first AGM between the clubs and the new NPL Board headed by Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye.
The board last week set up a Technical Committee for the selection of NPFL Team of the Month and ultimately an All-star team that would go on a tour of Spain at the instance of a top La Liga club.
Elegbeleye, while inaugurating the nine-member committee remarked that it could help the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have a nucleus of the next CHAN Eagles side.

Joel Ajayi
Participants from different walks of life are eagerly looking forward to the Lagos Women Run scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos.
The participants have expressed excitement about the opportunities and experiences the annual event promises to offer.
Our correspondent reports that, in addition to runners from within Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, some athletes are expected to travel from outside the country to participate in the race.
The organisers are already making preparations for the large number of registered participants, while the possibility of accepting late entries will depend on the timing and other arrangements.
The Coordinator of the Lagos Women Run, Tayo Popoola, said participants should expect an improved experience compared with previous editions.
“We have to continue to get better, as that is the driving force for us as organisers. We will be bigger and better with every edition,” Popoola said.
The 2026 Lagos Women Run will hold on Saturday, November 14, with Tafawa Balewa Square serving as the starting point.
Participants are expected to arrive at the venue by 6:30 a.m. for the event.
