The endorsement season for the Nigeria Football Federation continued on monday evening as lotto company, ‘Baba Ijebu’ signed a mouth watering deal with the federation.
At a modest and colourful and instrumental ceremony in Lagos on Monday, the NFF & Premier Lotto Limited (popularly and fondly referred to as Baba Ijebu) sealed a partnership that immediately made the gaming company the Official Gaming Partner of the National Teams. The money from this deal will cover all the male and female football teams.
Two weeks ago, Air transport operator Air Peace became the official air career for the super eagles in a deal worth 300 million naira and telecommunications giant, MTN signed a 500 million naira sponsorship deal with the federation.
Speaking to reporters at the event, NFF’s boss, Amaju Pinnick was on cloud nine after the deal was signed.
I want to see Nigerian football 100 per cent self-funding without involving government; of course, we thank the government for the past support. I can say now that NFF that did start off from point zero has attained 85 per cent of self-funding as at the signing of this partnership.”
