"And for us at GTI, this is a new dawn for our beautiful game. I want to assure our fans and stakeholders that we shall improve in any area we may have been found wanting come next season,” he stated.
The Group Managing Director (GMD) of GTI further reiterated the assurance he gave newsmen during the commencement of the abridged league season that his company is all out to help the Nigeria football league body achieve a strong and transparent football ecosystem in the country using the Nigeria Football Fund (TNFF) as a vehicle to attaining the dream.
