He went ahead to enjoin the organizers of the league, as well as the officials to be firm and adhere to the rule books to make the league better.
Former Nigerian striker and prominent member of LLC, Victor Agali, expresses the readiness of the group of ex-footballers who once plied their trades in Lagos, to give total support to the Lagos-based teams during all their home matches.

In his words, former Super Eagles mercurial midfielder Friday Ekpo remarked that with concerted efforts and unflinching support, the Lagos teams would excel in this year’s NNL.
