NIS DG Assures NNL Board of Support of the Foremost Sports Institute

The  Director-General of the National Institute for Sports (NIS),  Professor Olawale Moronkola, has assured the management  of the Nigerian  National League (NNL) of support towards a hitch-free  new season.

Speaking  during  a courtesy visit by the Chairman of the Nigerian  National  League  board, George Aluo, to the foremost sports Institute in Lagos on Wednesday, Professor  Moronkola said  “We are  excited by  your visit and commend your decision to partner NIS  to carry out our mandate of research  and training. 

“We shall give you all necessary  support to add value to our local League through  the training  of coaches. While we shall provide our expertise to make the training  a success, I urge you to seek the support of corporate  organizations  who are inclined to football  development  to sponsor  the training.”

In his response, Aluo disclosed that the board is planning to organise  a pre- season capacity training programme for the coaches of the 40 NNL clubs to upgrade the knowledge of the coaches in order  to improve the standard of the League.

He urged corporate bodies and sports loving individuals to rally round the board as it strives to take the league to a new level.
