According to SWAN, the nomination of the Nationwide League One as the Most Improved League in Nigeria, had been ratified by the National Executive Committee of SWAN after the screening committee's scrutiny which found the League worthy of the prestigious honour, based on its consistent track record of obvious improvements.

The formal conferment of the prestigious award on the NLO will take place during the Council Meeting of SWAN on Thursday May 2, 2024, in Kano.

Its on record the Nationwide League has made giant strides in the development of grassroots football over the years with prudent management of limited resources.

Before the commencement of the season, the NLO under the leadership of ex-Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Silas Agara sealed its biggest sponsorship deal worth multi-million naira and also announced a partnership with two foreign service providers for the league.
