EXCLUSIVE: Top Nigeria Customs officers enmeshed in multi-billion naira corruption scandalFood security: The Bago challenge, By Dakuku PetersideEXCLUSIVE: Top Nigeria Customs officers enmeshed in multi-billion naira corruption scandalFood security: The Bago challenge, By Dakuku Peterside''The federal government can also take it upon itself to invest in this sector since it has to do with the youth...''Davidson Owumi is a well-known name in Nigerian football circles.

Now, you agree with me that, for now, there’s visibility in the league today. The league is on television. We have it on different platforms, terrestrial platforms, that is achieved. And you look at the organisation itself, okay? Club licensing and private sector participation in the league. These are different indices. You’re supposed to judge whether the league is advancing or regressing. You understand you are supposed to be the judge.

Unfortunately, some clubs are still unprepared for where we are going because it is not easy to learn the use of the left hand in old age. With the incoming trend of having private sector-driven clubs, we can blend and form a mix between the old and the new. By so doing, we should be able to transform some of the old habits, you understand, into what we need to develop.: Okay.

Look at the AFCON; some people are complaining that the referee cheated. Do you understand? But what the developed footballing nations have been able to do is get the technology, the technological aspect of it—to go along with it. So, if there is any controversial penalty or whatever it is given, we can stop and go back to the VAR to say, no, this one is not right. That will help to improve.: Good. I’m sure you know how much the complete set of VAR costs. It’s going to run into millions, hundreds of millions. You understand? We’re just developing the league. We’ll get their cooperation from the NFF and partnership with the private sector. We might get access to a lower version of the VAR they are using now. Okay.
