NPL to name title sponsor end of October

The Nigeria Premier League (NPL) could announce a title sponsor for the coming season in three weeks, a top official of the body has disclosed.

Head of Media and Publicity of the Premier League, Emeka Nwani, was quoted on a cable television programme on Thursday saying that the executive board of the league body will finalise talks with the prospective title sponsor and could announce it by the end of October.

But Nwani did not disclose or give identity of the firm that will become the title sponsor.

However, the NPL image-maker further explained that the top-flight arbiter has other partners.

“The issue of the title sponsorship is near conclusion I must tell you. Hopefully in the next three weeks, the NPL will let everyone know the title sponsors I can assure you about that.

“But apart from the title sponsors, the NPL recently entered into partnership with GSK (Lucozade Sport), IGI and Marine Medical Services. So it will not just be about the title sponsors alone,” Nwani said.
