Elumelu expressed his approval of LawyerDay’s idea, stating, “This is a nice idea,” and confirming the Minister’s outreach for evaluation purposes.
Potential Impact:
Elumelu’s involvement, along with potential investments from other wealthy Nigerians, could significantly boost the NPFL’s competitiveness and overall development.
