The GMD of GTI Asset Management & Trust Limited, Abubakar Lawal, while joining other well-meaning Nigerians in congratulating Senator John Owan Enoh on his appointment as Minister of Sports by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said “GTI is willing and fully ready to cooperate and collaborate meaningfully and positively with the new sports minister to harness the potentials locked in Nigeria’ sports industry.

“We have already taken up the NPFL project and our aim is to make our elite football league a thriving transparent business enterprise that is capable of sustaining itself and employing millions of Nigerians who are ready to contribute significantly to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product,” Lawal said.

While congratulating Enoh on his new appointment, Lawal said: “We hope he hits the ground running because of the enormous challenges facing the sports ecosystem.

From GTI, we will continue to work closely with the newly inaugurated Board of the Nigeria Premier League (NPL) led by Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye towards a successful and seamless execution of the upcoming season.”

Lawal charged Senator Enoh, a two-term Member of the House of Representatives and one-term Member of the Senate of the Federal Republic, as the new Minister of Sports Development, to ensure that the government continues to complement the efforts of corporate bodies to provide an environment that is safe and conducive for sports development to thrive in the country.

The GTI boss further stated with a tinge of regret that the country is well blessed with talented sportsmen and women at the grassroots, but how to unearth these future superstars remains a herculean task that must be surmounted.

Antonio Biella, Director General, Acqua S.Bernardo, said, “It is a great pleasure to remain alongside Inter, who have always represented Italy at the top levels of international football.
