Shaibu however added that other participating teams would get N500,000 each as a consolation prize.

Matches, he said would hold across four centres, which are Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, University of Benin Sports Complex and two state built mini stadia at the School of Health Technology and Western Boys Secondary School in Benin.

He said the draw for the competition had been scheduled for August 24, with the 36 state’ First Ladies billed to grace the closing ceremony.

He assured that the event has come to stay as a pre-season warmup for women professional football clubs in the country, with the organiser of the league assenting to it.

“This year’s event is going to be interesting. The theme for the 2021 event was used to promote girl child education; this year’s theme will be to campaign against illicit drugs and human trafficking.

“The implication is that the event has come to stay in Nigeria. Thanks to the First Lady (Mrs Obaseki) for keeping in touch to make it an annual event and pre-season event for women football premiership.”
