Newly crowned African player of the Year, and Super Eagles striker, Ademola Lookman has been congratulated for emerging victorious at CAF Awards ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco.
Strategic partners to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), GTI Group who congratulated the prolific striker alongside the football ruling body on the successful achievements of Nigerian footballers, said it was a victory well deserved.
In a press statement made available to the media in Lagos by GTI Head of Media and Publicity, Andrew Ekejiuba, the investment banking firm expressed great hope that the efforts of the NFF at restructuring and repositioning football development in the country is yielding the desired result as the event witnessed the back-to-back emergence of Super Falcons goaltender, Chiamaka Nnadozie as CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year, while the Super Falcons carted home the Women’s National Team of the Year award.
Ekejiuba reiterated that the Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau-led NFF is gradually returning the country to the glorious years when Nigeria dominated the award and was once ranked 5th best soccer-playing nation by the world football ruling body FIFA.
“The achievements of our Nigerian players at the just concluded CAF Award is a testament to the abundance of talents in the country and the clear vision of Alh Ibrahim Gusau-led NFF board to ensure that these players realise their ambition to become the best in the continent and beyond.
“Therefore, GTI congratulates the Awardees for bringing honour to Nigeria,” he said.
“As strategic partners to the Nigeria Premier Football League, GTI’s relentless effort with the NPFL Board has helped to lay a solid foundation for a prosperous elite league that will eventually attract the best legs locally and internationally. Also, by focusing on transparency, infrastructural development and security, GTI and NPFL are creating a sustainable environment where football can thrive”.
