“Our marketing consultants have been doing a lot of work, talking to the people that we approached for sponsorship and on partnership.
“Their responses have been very good this season, so we hope that they possibly give us their final note before we commence the season and that will actually help the league a lot.
“Talking to some government agencies as well can actually ease up some of these expenses. We hope to make an edge so that we can have a good season better than what we had last season.
“We are trying to do a lot of trainings for our team administrators, the club administrators; and we are working on coaching courses as well for the club coaches.
“The coaching courses is going to come up in September immediately after the season, we hope to end the season between July and August and then by September we are going to have a Diploma Opposing Course that is in conjunction with the Nigeria Football Technical Department and Co-ever training.
