CHAMPIONING EXCELLENCE- BABANJA APPLAUDS ELEVATED STANDARDS NPFL, URGES UNITED EFFORT TO PROMOTE NIGERIA’S LEAGUE

In a time of transformation within the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), the longest-serving administrator in the league’s history, Solomon Babanja, has stepped forward to commend the high standards now defining Nigerian football.

Known for his depth of experience and dedication to the sport, Babanja has given well-deserved praise to the NPFL’s new management under the leadership of Gbenga Elebeleye, highlighting the leaps the league has taken in professionalism, organization, and global appeal.

Babanja’s recent comments reflect his belief in Elebeleye’s vision to elevate the NPFL. He sees the new management’s approach as a turning point, moving the league toward a more disciplined, competitive, and respected status that will appeal both locally and internationally.

According to Babanja, the NPFL has reached a point where the league’s quality and governance reflect a modern, forward-thinking operation.

But for Babanja, this progress is just the beginning. He has called upon stakeholders, former international players, and Nigerian players abroad to embrace their roles as ambassadors for the NPFL. To him, these individuals hold a crucial position in amplifying the league’s reputation. By sharing their experiences, leveraging their networks, and supporting the league’s mission, they can contribute to its growth and help solidify its position on the global football stage.

Babanja emphasizes that upholding the NPFL’s standards and projecting the league to the world should be a collective endeavor.

For Nigerian football to thrive, this responsibility must go beyond administration and management—it requires commitment from everyone connected to the game, from the fans to the players and all supporters.

“Projecting the NPFL to the world should be a shared responsibility,” Babanja stated, calling for all who care about Nigerian football to work together toward common goals. In his vision, the NPFL is not only a league but a powerful emblem of Nigerian talent and potential, deserving recognition and respect worldwide.
