The Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) has recently garnered significant interest from football enthusiasts in the country, and this surge in popularity can be attributed to the commendable work carried out by the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the league, according to Ebi Egbe, the Chief Executive Officer of Monimichelle Group.
Egbe expressed his admiration for the IMC chairman, Gbenga Elegbeleye, and applauded the committee’s achievements during the recently concluded season. He noted that clubs fought hard for every point and had a tangible reward to play for, as the league winners received a commendable N100 million.
Furthermore, Egbe praised the IMC’s decision to hold the season-ending NPFL Championship Play-Off at the MJA Arena in Lagos. The choice of venue allowed clubs to showcase their best performances on the outstanding hybrid synthetic pitch, which is regarded as one of the finest in the country. He emphasized that the MJA Arena exemplifies Monimichelle Sports’ commitment to eliminating subpar pitches in Nigeria.
Egbe went on to urge the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to retain the leadership of Gbenga Elegbeleye and his IMC, asserting that the NPFL has the potential to become a highly regarded league if the committee is given the opportunity to build upon the achievements of the previous season.
In summary, the NPFL’s recent surge in popularity is credited to the remarkable efforts of the IMC, led by Gbenga Elegbeleye. Egbe’s praise for the committee’s accomplishments and their decision to hold the NPFL Championship Play-Off at the exceptional MJA Arena highlights the positive impact they have had on the league. He strongly advocates for the continuation of the IMC’s leadership to ensure further progress and consolidation of the league’s success.
