NFF throws weight behind Pitch Awards, as event holds May 6

The Nigeria Football Federation has again fully endorsed the Nigeria Pitch Awards, an annual awards ceremony put together to reward great performers in all areas of the football pitch.
NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, said the new administration is totally in support of projects that seek to uplift Nigeria football in one way or the other, and the Pitch Awards is certainly one of those.
“We are in support of all noble projects that promote and present Nigeria football in positive light globally. I have met the organizers of the Nigeria Pitch Awards and I am convinced of their seriousness and the integrity they bring into the process.
“Integrity matters a lot in everything we do. The credibility of the process enhances its nobility and acceptance to the general public. The NFF will continue to support the Nigeria Pitch Awards to make it better.”
Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer of Matchmakers Consult International, organisers of the Nigeria Pitch Awards, Mr. Shina Philips, disclosed to thenff.com on Wednesday that this year’s ceremony will now take place on Wednesday, May 6.
“We are concluding the entire process in relation to collation of the votes from across the federation and selecting a venue from the numerous choices we have. But the event will definitely take place in Lagos.”
The first edition of the Nigeria Pitch Awards took place in Calabar on November 16, 2013.
