Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Lobi Stars chairman Dominic Iorfa said he believed the future of the Nigeria Premier Football League is bright.<\/p>\n

Iorfa said that with the calibre of players on parade at the NPFL U-17 Youth League, the future of the top flight is safe.<\/p>\n

He encouraged clubs to preserve the talents discovered during the competition for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith what I watched here, there\u2019s no doubt that we have abundant talents in Nigeria,\u201d he told Lobi Stars Media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the crop of players from this centre, the Nigeria Football Federation can pick players that will represent and win trophies for Nigeria. They\u2019re good enough to achieve that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope to see some of the players in Lobi Stars colour playing for the main team in the next two years.\u201d<\/p>\n
