The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is on the rise and has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, thanks to the unwavering commitment of strategic partners to the NPFL, GTI Group.

GTI’s initiative to enhance transparency in the NPFL goes beyond mere intentions; it involves concrete actions that laid the groundwork for accountability.

This commitment not only bolsters the league’s financial health but also promotes confidence among stakeholders, including fans, sponsors and players.

One of the critical challenges that faced the NPFL before the coming of GTI Group in the 2022/2023 season was crowd violence.

However, the financial investment firm and the NPFL Board led by Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye have worked harmoniously and tackled this issue head-on by implementing measures to curb this menace at match venues.

The placement of trained security personnel, implementation of zero tolerance to crowd violence and the issuance of fines against erring clubs cum their fans have fostered a safer environment for lovers of the beautiful game in the country.

As a result, match attendance has astronomically increased, allowing for a more vibrant and supportive atmosphere.

The enhanced transparency in match operations by NPFL has also sparked renewed hope and a sense of friendly competition among clubs.

With the increase in fair play and adherence to regulations, fans and players alike are experiencing a new wave of excitement.

This was exemplified on Match Day 3 of the ongoing 2024/2025 season, where the league witnessed an impressive display of five-star performance: five away wins, three draws, and two home wins.

This feat has never happened in the history of the elite league and reflects the blossoming football economy of Africa’s most populous nation.

GTI Group and NPFL’s relentless effort has laid the foundation for a prosperous league that attracts local and international talents from neighbouring countries in the round-leather game.

By focusing on transparency, infrastructural development and security, GTI and NPFL are not just transforming the league; they are creating a sustainable environment where football can thrive.

As we celebrate these positive changes, it is essential to acknowledge the role of every stakeholder in this journey.

The NPFL is no longer just a platform for entertainment; it is a thriving business-oriented industry with the potential to inspire generations to come.

The transformation of the NPFL, championed by GTI Group, reflects a brighter future for Nigerian football.

With the ongoing commitment and collaboration, the Nigeria Premier Football League will continue to flourish, bringing glory to clubs and excitement to fans across the world
