We do our thorough intel on prospective partners before we draft an agreement. Revolution Plus is a market leader that has surpassed the imagination of many.

On his part, the Group Managing Director/CEO of Revolution Plus, Mr Bamidele Onalaja, was ecstatic as he revealed a huge passion for the game of football and a lifetime craving to be associated with the football governing body and the National Teams.

“I played football on the streets and in my primary and secondary schools, and I love the game so much. Forgive my language; Nigerians are crazy about football. Today is a dream come true for me. Revolution Plus is delighted to be a partner of the NFF. When the opportunity came to partner the NFF, we did not hesitate. My dream is to see Nigeria Football become a global brand and to one day, see the Super Eagles win the World Cup. I am happy the Super Eagles are presently doing well with a good number of new, young players and I know they will do even better in the years to come.

“I have known Mr Amaju Pinnick for some time and I admire his personality. He is a goal-getter, a hard-nosed businessman with a unique style which befits football administration and management. He is a big asset to the Nigeria.”
