Dear Colleagues,
RE: PRIZES FOR NBA INTER-BRANCH FEMALE COMPETITION
Further to the statement issued by the Technical Committee on Conference Planning (TCCP) in respect of the above subject. I am happy to announce that the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN has pledged to support the NBA-AGC Female Football Competition with the sum of #500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand). The TCCP is extremely grateful to the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing for his timely support.
In fulfillment of our pledge to dedicate every amount received as sponsorship for the female football competition to the prize money, the above sum shall be applied to that purpose. We have also received requests for sponsorship information from other sources and are hopeful that the pot will increase.
On a lighter note, we now face the real possibility of a huge disparity in the prize winnings for the make and female NBA-branch football competition in favour of the latter. I hope that this does not generate a similar complaint of discrimination by the male football teams.
Once again, we pleased with the level of interest that the NBA-AGC 2022 activities have generated and we look forward to a rewarding Conference.
Kind regards
Tobenna Erojikwe
TCCP Chairman
