In one unequivocal voice, the chairmen and secretaries of Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti with the President of the Nigeria Referees Association, Otunba Tade Azeez at a meeting on Monday 10th April 2023 in Lagos picked as Chairman Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, BSA as fondly known, as part of newly motivated concerted efforts to resuscitate the WNFF as a grassroots football project packaged in a way that it will be envied by all African nations.
