Also speaking on the championship, president of, Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Musa Nimrod, commended the tournament's sponsor, adding that most of the players are raw talents with a number of them still writing secondary school exams.

�The competition consists of volleyball players who don't play in the league. This is the real grassroots we are talking about.
