The  Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare has affirmed that the resumption of the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL 2020/2021 season has brought  a big relief to the Nigerian football followers and the ministry after months of uncertainty.

 Mr Dare made this assertion in a  media chart following the kickoff of the new NPFL season on Sunday.

“Truly, it is really a sign of relief to see the NPFL return. You can see the excitement on the social media and economic activities in different venues talking about the hotels, restaurants and hosts of others who  are beneficiaries of the restart of the league.

“The return of the league brought about economic gains and it will  reduce social vices among the youth

“Even the gladiators of the  game are not left out of the party, players get travel allowances, Refrees,  match officials and as well back room staff.” Dare posited

The Minister commended the efforts of the LMC for ensuring that the NPFL returned, while assuring that the Ministry of sports will give them full support. 

“I want to commend the LMC for restarting the league, as a ministry we will support LMC to grow the league, which is critical for sports Development in the country.”  

“The contents are coming back gradually, which is key to football development. The LMC alone cannot promote the league, the media  has a very important role to play as well. We must project the league in a good light as sports journalists. You see what European journalists are doing to promote their leagues and their players, we can emulate good projection and add value to the league. This will attract more sponsors to  invest in our league. 

“We are deliberate about licensing of players,  content of the league and facilities  to meet the required standard. Once again I want to thank the LMC for strict adherence to these key components that can give the league a new look”  The Sports Minister concluded.
