Shehu Dikko, Chairman of NPFL’s organising body League Management Company , said while the 2020/2021 was challenging it still brought out the best in everybody involved.
Dikko spoke in Abuja during a “Guest Forum” organised by the FCT Chapter of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria .“The season was innovatively challenging, in spite of the history-breaking feats achieved by the participating clubs. But then, we all know it as a fact that Nigerians always come out top when their backs are against the wall.
“When our backs are against the wall, Nigerians will come out with something spectacular and fantastic,” Dikko said during the session used to review the season with members of the media. He went on to praise the 20 clubs which participated in the competition, saying it was necessary to do so as they were fundamental to the event.
“They gave everything they could to make sure the season was concluded the way we envisaged it, in spite of the challenges, financial stress and logistic challenges, and all others.
