In a statement, Andrew Ekejiuba, Head of Media and Publicity at GTI/TNFF, commended Propel Sports Africa for their timely training of cameramen who will operate the AI cameras designated for live streaming across various match venues nationwide.
“GTI is highly impressed with Propel Sports Africa’s recent efforts in deploying and training young Nigerians across the country to operate these cutting-edge cameras at different match venues for the upcoming season.”
Ekejiuba revealed that the training commenced on August 5, 2023, in Lagos and extended to other locations throughout the nation.
GTI affirms its commitment to work collaboratively with the newly inaugurated board of the Nigeria Premier League (NPL), led by Gbenga Elegbeleye, to ensure a successful and seamless execution of the approaching season.
Nelson Ine, GTI’s Executive Director and also the project director of The Nigeria Football Fund (TNFF), emphasized the need for collective effort among all stakeholders to elevate the NPFL’s status.
“In the journey to elevate our elite league to global recognition, we call on all stakeholders to unite.
GTI stands ready to contribute more to NPFL’s success, and we encourage Corporate Nigeria and individuals to invest in NPFL, thereby fostering a brighter future for emerging football talents.”
Simultaneously, the NPFL has established a nine-member technical committee, led by former Super Eagles star Daniel Amokachi, to select the monthly NPFL Team of the Month.
