It has been confirmed that the organizers of the annual Nigeria Pitch Awards will on Friday, honor some state governors, including Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State as well as NFF President Amaju Pinnick and Super Eagles interim Coach Samson Siasia.
While Governor el-Rufai and Mr. Pinnick will be picking up the Special Achievement in Football awards, Siasia, who led the U-23 team to Africa U-23 Cup of Nations glory in Senegal last December, will go home with the Football Achievement award.
President of Matchmakers Consult International Limited, Shina Philips, told thenff.com on Monday that arrangements have been concluded to have a flawless ceremony in just two hours.
“We are expecting a good number of very eminent Nigerians at the event, but we are working assiduously towards compacting everything into two hours. Red carpet will start at 7pm and we are going to ensure we are on time.
“We realize that the Super Eagles players and officials would be traveling back to Abuja very early on Saturday to catch the Egypt Air flight to Cairo, and onwards to Alexandria, so we would be on time for everything so that the players and officials can retire back to the hotel early enough to have good rest,” he said.
