History

Since inception, women's football 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 for the body.
