In his address, Aluo described the awards as a platform to reward excellence across the league.

He also lauded the NFF president for granting the NNL board the freedom to execute its vision, adding that Gusau’s support has been crucial to the league’s progress this season.
Highlighting the NNL’s growing strength, Aluo pointed to the performance of its clubs in the ongoing President Federation Cup, where second-tier teams have upset their Premier League counterparts.
“Exceptional achievements are within our reach when we stand tall on a foundation of personal integrity, hard work and unwavering determination,” Aluo said.
The NNL chairman stressed the importance of nurturing young talents and reaffirmed the board’s commitment to ensuring the league continues to serve as a reliable pathway for players and officials aiming to reach the highest levels of Nigerian football.
