League(GWPFL) in the 2005 football season and already ,activities are underway to give the Women’s
Pro-league the much needed shine.

“Part of the things we did in Lagos last week was to look at the logo for the Women’s Pro-league and
approve it before submitting to our sponsors, Globacom” explained Bassey Koma Ekpo, member of the
NFA Women Football Development Committee.

Apart from the logo, the Committee is also working on the rules and regulations that will guide clubs who
will be part of history by featuring in the competition.

“Already, we are a semi-pro league but what we are doing is to formalize certain aspects of
professionalism in the league with emphasis on players development, regularized transfers and contracts, marketing and other aspects”, explained Bassey Koma.

Only recently, the Chairperson of the NFA Women Football Development Commiittee, Alhaja Ayo Omidiran hinted that Nigeria’s decision to go pro in women football has been welcomed by top officials of CAF who see this decision as wise and developmental.

this a big step in the right direction and we are not going back because soon as we start, all the
stakeholders will be the beneficiaries ”Alhaja Omidiran had said.
