Moses Bako has shown his appreciation to NFF's 2nd vice president and the chairman of the League Management Company, Shehu Dikko for supporting the Nigeria Women Football League.

Bako said this during a meeting with Confluence Queens supporters, women's football stakeholders and fans in Lokoja, Kogi state where plans to kick start a new project called Women All Stars initiated by Barrister Victoria Ihedi Fortune-nlemigbo were discussed.

Recalled that the LMC last year made a cash donation of N10million to clubs competing in the NWFL to successfully prosecute the second stanza of the previous season.

Before the donation was made, a number of teams had ran foul of the provision of the NWFL rules and regulations due to financial constraint, and as a result they were thrown out of the league.

In his remark, the convener of the Save Women's Football Foundation (SWOFF), thanked the LMC boss for the cash donation which came at a time the clubs needed it the most.

"First and foremost, I'll like to thank Mallam Shehu Dikko for his kind gesture in bailing out the Nigeria Women's Football League when it had financial problems," he began.

"We can't deny the fact that the clubs, coaches and players are reaping from the donation; because it would have been a different story in the topflight division last term.

"We saw how clubs were kicked out of the league after they failed to honour their league matches and the players almost suffered for it but thanks to Dikko and the LMC that came to their rescue."

He furthered hailed the media for the role it played in talking about the women's game through their various social platforms.

"I will also like to commend the media (sports journalists), who committed themselves to the NWFL in ensuring the beautiful game of women's football is spread across the country.

"In fact, I'm overwhelmed at the way which people have taken interest in watching our local league and also the national teams; all thanks to the media."
