The Benue State government is set to host 20 media officers from Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clubs for a two-day workshop this week in Makurdi.
The event, scheduled for August 15-16, 2024, will focus on the critical role of media in the growth and success of football as a global business.
The workshop aims to equip media officers with the tools and knowledge needed to enhance their roles in promoting and developing football in Nigeria.
The event underscores the importance of media in shaping the perception and success of the sport, both locally and internationally.
This gathering comes just ahead of the 2024-25 NPFL season, which is set to kick off on Saturday, August 31.
The season opener will see reigning NPFL champions, Rangers, face off against Federation Cup winners, El-Kanemi Warriors, in what promises to be an exciting start to the new campaign.
The Benue State government’s initiative to host the workshop highlights its commitment to supporting the development of football in Nigeria and fostering the professional growth of those who play a crucial role in the sport’s media coverage.
