Nimrod said the signing of the youngsters will open more doors for other young volleyball players to move to Europe and other top leagues in the world.
“I am happy the dividends of investing in younger players is manifesting. The vision of the board is the development of volleyball from the grassroots and you can see that it is paying off.
“Few years ago, Fernabache signed Arinze Nwanchukwu (Former Nigeria U-19 player) and today, Partizani SC is signing two Nigeria U-19 players. This means the future of the senior national team is bright.”
Nimrod urged other players plying their trade in the country’s leagues to remain determined and focused in the 2022 Nigeria Volleyball Season.
The NVF president, who doubles as the Secretary-General of Confederation of Africa Volleyball (CAVB) Zone 3, said “I am appealing to other players in the league to play with their heart during the National Division 1 League and Nigeria Volleyball Premier League because scouts all over the world are watching our leagues in order to pick the best players.
“This will also help us build formidable national teams in the future because those plying their trade outside have access to standard facilities and equipment.”
