Barrister Solomon Dalung is to seek Federal Government’s intervention to ensure the kick-off of the 2019 Nigeria Women Premier League NWPL.
The Minister of Youth and Sports expressed surprise at the late kick-off of the Women’s league earlier scheduled for February but was shifted to March due to lack of funds.
“I think we should begin to pay more attention to Women’s football especially after bringing so many laurels to the country.
They just won the Africa Women’s Championship a record nine times and the nucleus of the National team is from the Women’s league.”
Barrister Dalung however solicited the support of the public sector to invest in the women’s league like they do to the men’s league.
“I seek the co-operation and support of the private sector to rescue the women’s league. The continued delay of its kickoff will hamper the discovery of new players for the National teams especially as the Super Falcons intensify preparations for the World Cup.
