…Decree lack of sponsors

The Chief Operating officer of the Nigeria Nationwide League, Sola Ogunnowo has described the 3rd tiers of the as the most important league in the country, and deserves all the attention and financial support from the corporate bodies.

According to him, my greatest constraint as the Chief Operating Officer of the Nigeria Nation-Wide Football League One (NLO) is funding. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are trying their best to support us financially, but I must tell you it’s not enough, considering the volume of work we do in the Organization.

“As I speak to you the medical teams of the Nigeria Nation-Wide Football League One (NLO) are moving from one club to another and they are carrying out the much needed medical tests for all of the players and training club medical personnel.”

Ogunowo who lamented lack of sponsors as one of the cogs in the wheel of league acceleration of a league which has over 300 clubs to carry out most of its activities.

He said in a bid to help the players in the domestic league enjoy their retirement from the beautiful game, the Nigeria Nation-Wide Football League One (NLO) is encouraging players who can make room for qualitative education to combine it with their football career.
