In a commendable move by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mr. Silas Ali Agara, the former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, has been appointed as the Chairman of the Nigeria Nation-Wide League One. The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Nasarawa State Chapter, extends its heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Agara on this well-deserved appointment.

His appointment comes as no surprise, considering his unwavering dedication to the development of sports at the grassroots level.
With this new responsibility, the Association earnestly prays for God Almighty to grant Mr. Agara the necessary enablement to revolutionize the sporting industry, particularly at the grassroots level.
