NFF 2nd Vice President/Chairman of Strategy Committee, Mallam Shehu Dikko told thenff.com that the
seminar, which will see leading voices in the private sector who are partners of the NFF delivering
papers.

“We believe that it is important to also afford the players and their officials the opportunity to
listen to critical advice in the area of wealth creation, business opportunities, investments and
portfolio management.

“The focus should not always be entirely on playing football. Of course, the game on the pitch is
important. But after the game, there is that aspect of human existence that also requires adroit
management and knowledge –based action. Moreover, they cannot play football for ever. Management of
what they have is key to life after retirement.”

The NFF has informed players and officials about the seminar, which will hold between 1.45pm and
2.30pm
