The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, will lead a high-powered delegation of board members to Kaduna today, September 16, 2025, for the 16th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Nigeria National League (NNL).
The crucial meeting, which will take place at Fifth Chukker Hotel and Suites, Kaduna, had initially been scheduled between September 10 and 13 but was shifted forward due to logistical reasons.

The NNL, regarded by many as the heartbeat of Nigerian football because of its role in nurturing clubs and players for the elite division, will use the AGM to evaluate last season’s performance, deliberate on challenges, and chart a roadmap for the 2025/2026 campaign.
Key decisions expected at the AGM include the official confirmation of clubs promoted to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), those relegated from the NNL, as well as teams that earned promotion from the Nationwide League One (NLO). The announcement of the kickoff date for the 2025/2026 season is also on the agenda.
