NPFL must be Content-Stupid to develop, says Sports Minister

The Minister  of Youth and Sports Development Mr. Sunday
Dare has said the Nigerian Football League needs to design content
around the league.

Mr. Dare made this assertion during an inspection tour of 
the National Stadium, Lagos  currently undergoing
rehabilitation.

“Our football league must be Content Stupid  to develop
because football is content stupid. We watch the English Premier
League, we are transported to Wembley through the power of
television. It is  clear that  our domestic league cannot
develop without content.

“We have agreed with the  NFF and LMC that there must be
content in our League. We may not be able to cover or show five or
six matches,  but the content must be there. I have received
an assurance from the LMC that there would be content. The content
might be gradual, but there must be  some clear markers laid
down, especially now that stadiums will be empty due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. Fans would be able to watch their teams play on
television.

“Content must return so that  our apex football league can
develop and gain universal recognition”, the  Minister
concluded.

The  Sports Ministry and the  LMC have agreed on
Sunday, 27th December, 2020 date for the  resumption of 
the new NPFL season.
