International Companies shows interest in the broadcast of the NPFL

Representatives of a yet to be named major globalsports broadcast company reportedly arrived

Nigeria on the invitation of the League

Management Company (LMC ) in continuation of

talks said to have begun late last year.

The two officials of the company whose

organisation was not disclosed by our source

arrived Uyo , where they were said to have

inspected outside broadcast facilities of Nigeria

Television Authority (NTA) after a similar

inspection of Outside Broadcast (OB) Vans at the

National Stadium, Abuja .

Cited with the LMC Head of Special Projects , Harry

Iwuala, the two foreigners declined comments just

as Iwuala said he couldn ’t talk about the visit .

However, The Guardian can confirm that after a

first hand observation of the live broadcast of the

Match Day 1 fixture between Akwa United and

Rangers, the duo are due in Abuja today (Monday)

for further discussions with LMC top officials.

In Uyo , they were seen chatting with NTA

Engineers beside the Domestic Satellite News

Gathering (DSNG ) van that was deployed for the

match .The LMC last year executed a Memorandum

of Understanding (MOU ) with NTA with the

backing of the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai

Mohammed.

The signing of the MOU came on the heels of the

uncertainty of Supersport continued broadcast

since after the South African broadcaster raised

the value of its sponsorship fee on the South Africa

Premier Soccer League (PSL ) and the European

Champions League .

Even with the uncertainty of the broadcast

partnership of Supersport and the Nigeria

Professional Football League (NPFL ), perimeter

advertising boards of Supersport were spotted at

all NPFL matches held yesterday.
