The interim management company IMC, set up by the Sports ministry to repackage, rebrand and restructure the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), on Tuesday November 1 had a meeting with the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA in Abuja.
Gbenga Elegbeleye led other members of his IMC team to the meeting at the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA office, with the Director General of NTA Salihu Abdulhamid Dembos in charge of the NTA delegation.
Discussions at the meeting centered on how NTA can partner with the league body in broadcasting live matches of the NPFL to Nigerians.
No decision was reached at Tuesday’s meeting but both parties agreed to meet again and finalize discussions.
The IMC is looking at various possibilities and there are indications that they have also opened discussions with Multichoice to get Super Sports broadcast the league to the international audience.
As at this moment, there is no tentative date for the kickoff of the Nigeria proffessional football league but the IMC is working closely with the clubs to ensure that players registration on the TMS is done in good time so that a start date will be fixed before the end of November.
