Others to be honoured at the event include the Inspector General of Police Alkali Baba Usman as well as former Nigeria international Daniel Amokachi and NFF President Amaju Pinnick for their various contributions to the game at one point or the other.
Thanking the awards’ college of voters and the accounting firm, SIAO partners for standing with Matchmakers over the years, Philips said the forthcoming edition is going to be grand , adding the voting process for the 8th edition would soon get underway.
