Our focus now is to create consistent, quality content that will be available on as many platforms as possible,\u201d Elegbeleye said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that this partnership is only one piece of a bigger strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis agreement with Inview and AS Production Hub does not shut the door to other broadcasters. The league is being unbundled \u2014 which means more broadcasters are welcome to come in. More partners means more revenue, more coverage, and ultimately more development for our clubs and players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, applauded the NPFL leadership for staying focused despite challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may not seem as fast as Nigerians expect, but what NPFL is doing is foundational. With patience and consistent support, they will get it right in every dimension,\u201d Gusau noted.<\/p>\n<p>In a second major commercial engagement, the league also signed a separate strategic data partnership worth over \u20a6600 million with Round Up Technology, which includes an annual \u20a6140 million payment for technical data services covering players, match statistics, analytics and league performance parameters.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the first time the NPFL will be receiving structured commercial income tied directly to data mining and data monetization \u2014 a practice already standard across Europe\u2019s top leagues.<\/p>\n<p>Dignitaries who witnessed the signing included the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Charles Ebuebu; Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu; Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mallam Jibrin Baba Ndace, among other top government and industry figures.<\/p>\n<p>With this new structure \u2014 television unbundling, direct data monetization, and open-door broadcast framework \u2014 the NPFL may well be stepping into its most commercially promising era yet.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has taken a major commercial leap \u2014 announcing&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":25384,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-african-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
