The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, will today host the newly crowned champions of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) for the 2023/24 season in Benin City, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

In a release issued by the Edo Sports Commission Chairman, Yussuf Alli, the reception is expected to commence at 10:00 am prompt at the Western Boys High School Gate, Ikpoba Hill.

According to him; "The First Lady, Dr. Mrs. Betsy Obaseki, and other top government functionaries will be there to receive the NWFL champions.

"This is in line with the Governor's promises to return Edo State to her premier position in Nigeria sports. The red-carpet reception which is scheduled to take place in Government House is tailored to words honouring the state contingent for their excellent outing in the just concluded Super Six tournament where Edo Queens emerged champions of NWFL premiership last Sunday in Yenagoa Bayelsa State.

"From there the team and the teeming supporters will do a road show led by Her Excellency Dr. Mrs. Obaseki after which they will proceed to Government House for the reception proper by the Governor."
