Certainly anything that has a beginning must surely has an end, the much talked about Nigeria’s premiership was finally concluded on Sunday the 25th of May 2025 despite the apprehension entertained before its commencement in view of what experienced in the oast
Kudos to the good arrangement made aimed at ensuring the ends justify the means
This effort will go down the history lane as the first time that our Domestic Football Competition tallies with that of Europe which football lovers have been praying for
Without mincing words, the entire Leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation likewise the League Management company under ex soccer star Davidson Owumi should be given a pat on the back for matching theory with practice which is part of the attributes of a good leader
Thus what remains as of now is how best to consolidate on the good achievement which will surely help in shortlisting the league among one of the best in the whole of Africa going by the position of the country in the round leather game across the world
Definitely,it is a marvelous development which shows the seriousness, commitment , determination,zeal, courage, labourious and tenacity of the overall team at football headquarters otherwise called the glass house
Delightfully the years of indefinite postponement and unreasonable shifting of dates due to flimsy or light excuses are profoundly over
What will be witnessed is a new beginning that will ensure an unhindered development of the game across the nooks and crannies of the country
At the end of the competition Remo Stars grabbed the trophy followed by Rivers United who will join them in battling for the money spinning Champions League trophy
Abia Warriors that emerged second runners up will vie for CAF Cup 2 event
On the other hand, teams comprising Heartland, Sunshine,Lobi Stars and Akwa United have been relegated to the low cadre come next soccer season
