The four promoted clubs will be formally admitted to the NPFL, just as the four relegated clubs will attend their last meeting as part of the elite league.
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, is expected to declare the meeting open with several ex-international players in attendance to add colour to the draw event.
