MD/CEO of New Year Mega Lottery Limited and tittle sponsor of the Nation- wide League One (NLO), Chief Sunday Adeleye has stated that the reason why NewYear Mega Lottery has picked up the tittle sponsorship of the Third tier league for the next four 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 advise, 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. New Year Mega Lottery is not just looking at football but ahtletics and other sports because sport development is about funding and support to make it strive and it’s one sector other corporate bodies are not looking at but we are taking advantage of that because we are born into sport and will continue to do it better in the area of development”.
Kaduna United lost 0-2 to Yoca Crocodiles in the opening fixture of the NLO24 New Year Mega Lottery.
