Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye, Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), has congratulated Alhaji Sani Toro, the first Executive Secretary of the NPFL Governing Board, on his 70th birthday.
Elegbeleye congratulated the former National Assembly member and lauded him for his efforts to the establishment of the country’s Professional Football League.
“Your enormous contribution to the development of the Professional Football League through the groundwork of the board you led as Executive Secretary is the foundation of what has grown to produce many illustrious players and Coaches for the country,” said the message.
