The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, (MD/CEO) of New Year Mega Lottery Limited and title sponsor of the Nationwide League One (NLO), Chief Sunday Adeleye has stated the reason why New Year Mega Lottery has picked up the title sponsorship of the Third tier league for the next 4 years.
He made this statement while speaking with newsmen at the opening ceremony of the NLO24 New Year Mega Lottery at the Ahmadu Bello stadium, Kaduna.
"I've been all around sport and the language I understand is giving back to people and the youth. I championed that area where I believe I should give back to Nigerian youth because sport made me who I am today.
The former owner of Dynamic Sporting Solutions FC (DSS) further stated that the youths can be like him and even surpass his achievements through sport. "If the youth follow my footsteps and footprints and advice, they can even do better than me.
Giving back is not something I have to think or prepare about, it's something I have to do and I've been doing that".
When asked if the initial four-year deal is renewable, he said, "It's a marriage we just got into and we are looking forward to bettering the marriage.
The New Year Mega Lottery is not just looking at football but athletics and other sports because sports development is about funding and support to make it strive it's one sector other corporate bodies are not looking at but we are taking advantage of that because we are born into the sport and will continue to do it better in the area of development".
Kaduna United lost 0-2 to Yoca Crocodiles in the opetitleixture of the NLO24 New Year Mega Lottery.
