The Nigeria National League (NNL) has selected the Senior Special Adviser to Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun state on Sports Development, Vincent Akinbami, Confederation of African Football, CAF Safety and Security personnel, Nicholas Akujobi and CSP Sule Yaro to deliver the planned retreat ahead of the 2021/2022 new calendar season.
The special retreat which commences today/tomorrow, (14-12-2021) will see Vincent Akinbami a former Vice President of Osun United Football Club handle the topic: *Club Management in conformity with best practices.*
Mr. Akujobi and CSP Yaro will speak on *Stadium Safety and Security*
CSP Yaro is also the caretaker Chairman Nigeria Police Force Football Association.
The 3rd topic on ‘Relationships Between Clubs and NNL Secretariat’ will be handled by Nicholas Akujobi who has been the administrative Secretary of NNL for almost a decade now.
The retreat will hold at the Prestige Hotels and Suites, situated at Ihama road Oka, by Airport road junction, Benin City, Edo state capital.
Participants from the forty-six (46) NNL clubs have started arriving in the ancient city of Benin for the one-day retreat.
Meanwhile, the NNL Annual General Assembly, (AGA) has been scheduled to hold on Wednesday, 15 December 2021 at the same venue and will be attended by Presidents of the clubs only.
Some of the matters to be discussed at the AGA include the ratification of the NNL amended rules and regulations for the new season, the kick-off date and league format amongst others.
Edo state government under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki some weeks ago graciously approved the hosting of the NNL AGA by the state.
NNL chairman, Senator Obinna Ogba, has, however, continued to thank Governor Obaseki, his Deputy Philip Shuaibu and the good people of Edo State for the huge show of support and interest in developing sports in Nigeria.
