President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju
Melvin Pinnick has restated the Federation’s support for, and
endorsement of, the Nigeria Pitch Awards as the seventh edition of
the glamorous awards has now been scheduled for the month of
November in Asaba, Delta State.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Pinnick extolled the assiduity,
creativity and ingenuity that the organizers of the awards,
Matchmakers Consult International Limited bring into the entire
packaging of the event each year, and advised that the same
laudable qualities should be retained and even improved upon for
subsequent processes and ceremonies.
“I am impressed by the hard work and transparency that the
organizers of the Nigeria Pitch Awards bring into the process and
organization of the ceremony each year. Despite a number of
challenges and hurdles to cross over the years, they have never
faltered in putting up an impressive show and more importantly, the
integrity of the selections have been obvious to followers of the
game.
“It is rather difficult to keep up standards and maintain
certain parameters especially with the hailstorm of the COVID-19,
but I want to charge the organizers to do their utmost to maintain
the integrity of the awards and strive to keep to the standards
they have set over the years.”

Nigeria’s football supremo further assured the organizers that
the NFF’s moral support for the awards remains intact and that the
Federation’s top hierarchy would be ready to grace this year’s
ceremony taking place in the Delta State capital in the second week
of November.
On his own part, president of the Nigeria Pitch Awards, Shina
Phillips assured that the integrity of the awards is its major
asset and that nothing would be done to compromise the high
standards that have been second nature to the event over the
years.
“Matchmakers Consult International Limited will continue to
guard jealously the unique qualities and attributes that have
sustained the Nigeria Pitch Awards. Our thinking is in the
long-term, not short-term. We are fully committed to making this a
project that Nigerians, and indeed all Africans, will be proud
of.”
