The Nigeria National League has entered into an agreement with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, to run live commentaries of all the Super Eight playoff matches.
The league’s chairman George Aluo disclosed this in a chat with NNL Media.
Aluo said the arrangement will offer Nigerians the opportunity to follow the games from the kick-off to the finals.
He commended the largest radio network in Africa for the deal.
