"We are used to gathering teams in a particular location for 1 week under the guise of playing Division 1 and 2 with players and respective clubs benefiting nothing at the end of this jamboree.”
“Under this new arrangement, the division will be targeted at grassroots players and rookies who are just at the developmental stage of the game with more games expected to be played”, he continued.
He assured that the federation is working round the clock to deliver on its promise of securing a better life for players plying their trades in the domestic league.
“If we have been able to pull off such feat for Division 1 and Division 2, there are bigger plans for the Premier League division and the Zenith Bank sponsored Women's League.”
Details of the sponsorship will be announced at the world press conference on Thursday.
