Nigeria Professional Football League
top scorer award will be named after
legendary Rasheed Yekini, the League
Management Company has hinted.
According Shehu Dikko, chairman of
the league organising body, the move
is to immortalize the fallen Super
Eagles hero for his contribution to
Nigeria football in his playing days.
Aside from this, plans are in place for an end-of-the-season award for
the top division which to him will create commercial value and
additional revenues.
“There is a broad plan to institute awards and honour outstanding
players, officials, key stakeholders and fans in the league at the end of
every season and there are a number of factors that led us to reach the
decision to name one of these awards, that of the highest goal scorer
after the late Rasheed Yekini,” said Dikko.
“The awards is part of strategic plans of the LMC to create commercial
value and additional revenues out of the assets inherent in the league
property.
"We considered the aspiration factor which seeks to let the players
know that they too can become national heroes if they achieve
excellence and make a success of their career.
“It says to them that they too can become legends of the game and the
society will honour them as we have sought to honour the late Yekini,”
he concluded.
Yekini played for UNTL Kaduna, Shooting Stars, Abiola Babes, Julius
Berger and Gateway FC. m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/13550102 |
