In a bid to consolidate on the gains of last season which saw a remarkable improvement in the quality of football in the Nigerian National League (NNL), plans have been concluded for a pre-season seminar for coaches and media officers.
The pre-season seminar is to hold immediately after the league’s AGM slated for Bauchi.
The NNL board chairman, Mr George Aluo, disclosed this saying: “We are excited to have a pre-season Seminar for our coaches and club media officers to prepare them for another season. The event would come up immediately after the league’s AGM in Bauchi. The NNL is fully committed to building on the gains of last season which resulted in good conduct of our coaches, fair officiating and high standard of play. We can’t settle for anything less going forward.”
He expressed gratitude to the management of Valuejet Airlines for supporting the NNL to consolidate on the gains of making the League better.
“We have set a standard which we will keep improving upon. The commendation we got last season is due to the cooperation of all stakeholders. The League can only get better when everyone contributes their own quota to the game. We are not there yet, but we have instilled some level of trust, sanity and integrity in our league. This is the beginning of better days ahead. We thank Valuejet Airlines for their faith and support.”
The pre-season Seminar will take place at the world class Remo Stars Stadium mid October.
Notable and reputable coaches, world acclaimed journalists and resource persons are expected to tutor coaches and media officers to upgrade their knowledge of the game.
Aluo said the NNL decided to incorporate media officers into the program because of their strategic role in the growth of the league.
