Gov. Abiodun lauds Elegbeleye-led NPFL board for harmonized calendar
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has expressed excitement over recent developments in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), particularly its establishment of a consistent season calendar.
Abiodun made the remarks while receiving a delegation from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), led by its President, Ibrahim Gusau, and Chairman of the NPFL, Honourable Gbenga Elegbeleye.
The delegation was in Abeokuta to felicitate with the governor following the official presentation of the 2024/25 NPFL season trophy to Remo Stars.
The governor noted that it is commendable the NPFL season has been aligned with most global football leagues, which conclude before June.
“While the champions, our own Remo Stars from Ogun State, were crowned on Sunday, there is just one more game to conclude the season, which means the season will be shutting down this May, just as will be the case with most European leagues. This is commendable,” remarked Abiodun, who was in Ikenne for the elaborate trophy presentation ceremony.
He also lauded the NPFL Board, led by Elegbeleye, for organizing a hitch-free season that produced a champion without rancor.
“It is to the credit of the NPFL Board, led by my brother Elegbeleye, that we had this beautiful trophy celebration today with all stakeholders united in agreement that we have a worthy winner in Remo Stars,” the governor told his guests, which included NFF board members such as Ganiyu, Aisha Falode, and Silas Agara.
