charged the coaches in the nationwide league, who took part in the coaching
clinic to make the maximum impact of the knowledge acquired.

partnership between the NPFL and the La Liga is one of the noble things that
has happened to the development of football in Nigeria and it is hoped that the

in the nationwide league, the league he described as the bedrock of talents in
Nigeria football.
"The nationwide league is the bedrock of football
talent in Nigeria and I am very happy that we have many coaches in the
nationwide league in this coaching clinic and I am very sure that the coaches
will beam their search light to discover more football talent and nurture these
talents to greater heights after the coaching clinic," Alkali said.
He added, "You have to make good use of this
knowledge. Nigeria Football Federation knows your importance at the grassroot
of football development in the country and hopefully more talents will be
discovered in the nationwide league by you the coaches and more clubs in the
other leagues in Nigeria will continue to demand for their services, the
products of the nationwide league."
In a related development, the amiable chairman of the
League Management Company, Mallam Shehu Dikko also commended the coaches for
their efforts in the development of players at the grassroots, while also

NPFL/La Liga coaching clinic course. Coaches at the grassroots of football
development in Nigeria are very important in the country and that is why this
coaching clinic is very essential and our expectations is to see players that
are discovered by you the coaches play for the Super Eagles within the next
three to five years and possibly ply their trades in the top leagues in the
World," Dikko said.
