Ubah

Business mogul and Chairman Capital Oil, Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has called on well meaning Nigerians like business mongul Aliko Dangote to rally round Nigerian leagues and help turn Nigerian football around.


Ubah who is the owner of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, one of the clubs currently in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), particularly expressed confidence that Dangote would rather pluck his resources into the country’s round leather game.
Speaking shortly after he was honored as the Patron of Nigerian Nationwide League (NNWL) yesterday in Abuja, the oil magnate hinted that sports development in any part of the world cannot be left solely in the hands of government.

He also promised that with concerted effort NNWL would witness greater turnaround.

“One, it’s about youth development, it’s about enterprise, and it’s about creating awareness in the youth in the world. And I believe with the rebranding of the Nigeria Football Federation, I am sure that we would have a lot of smiles at the end of the day,” he said.

“We need to do more for our fatherland. This is a way to go,” he added
Former Super Eagles stars Daniel Amokachi, Garba Lawal and Patrick Pascal were unveiled as NNWL ambassadors.
In their separate remarks, NNWL Chairman Alhaji Ahmed Kawu and his LMC counterpart, Shehu Dikko said the future of Nigerian football was bright adding that the 165 clubs in NNWL would continue to receive adequate support.
