The League Management Company (LMC) has been commended over its historic NPFL /La Liga U-15 football tournament which began in selected centres across the country.
Speaking with the press in his Lagos office, the National Chairman of Nigeria Football Supporters Club (NFSC), Rev. Samuel Ikpea, described the initiative by the LMC as ground breaking.
” For so long, we have clamoured that our football clubs should have something like feeder teams to boost the production chains of talents in the country, ” Ikpea remarked.
“In recent times, this country has suffered from the dearth of quality talents in our local football. This initiative will see younger and fresher talented footballers coming to the fore, ” he added.
The seasoned administrator, who was the former scribe of the NFSC, admonished all football stakeholders in the country to rally in support of the efforts of the Mallam Shehu Dikko-led LMC to ensure that Nigerian football returns to its enviable pride of place.
He went on to disclose that the supporters club has also mapped out plans to support and encourage the development of grassroots football in the country.
