The Nigeria Women Football League is the body responsible for organization the top three tiers of women's association football in Nigeria. They organize the NWFL Premiership, NWFL Championship and NWFL Nationwide leagues. Historically, the Nigeria Football Federation appoints the executive board for the NWFL.
History
Since its inception, women's football in Nigeria was usually governed as a department of the NFF empowered to administer the leagues. Executive members and leaders of such committees included Gina Yesibo, Bola Ngozi Jegede and Haijia Omidiran. However, the Nigeria Women Football League was inaugurated as an institution capable of running its affairs using a more independent approach. Dilichukwu Onyedinma was appointed as the first chairperson of the body.
