Plaudits for Sportsville award winner Elegbeleye

The Secretary of the NPFL Clubs Owners Association, Godwin Enakhena, says the choice of Gbenga Elegbeleye, Chairman, Nigeria Premier Football League, as  Sportsville Sports Administrator of The Year 2023 is a fitting honour for a man who has come to change the face of the Nigerian domestic league.

Elegbeleye was decorated with the award at an elaborate ceremony in Lagos on Friday.         .

“First, let me start by congratulating Elegbeleye for this well-deserved award as the Sportsville Sports Administrator of The Year. We’ve all seen the positive changes he has brought to our league within a short time frame.

“We the club owners are delighted by the progress and innovations  his board has brought into the league and we hope with motivation like this Sportsville award, he will achieve more,” Enakhena, who is also the chairman of Premier League side, Sporting Lagos, said.


Speaking in the same vein, Sunday Dare, the immediate past sports minister, who initiated the NPFL reform that brought Elegbeleye to the fore, said, “When we were searching for the person to turn around our league, the obvious choice was Elegbeleye, whose resume fitted our vision.

“That he’s today being recognised by Sportsville shows that we made a good choice. Honestly, Gbenga has done well, and I am so proud of him.”

Over 15 other personalities were also honoured on the night.
