Published by Akorede on July 9th, 2020.

• Top Nigerian Professional Football League gamers have expressed uncertainty over their destiny in the NPFL because of the rising instances of COVID-19 in the country,

  The NPFL is currently suspended because of the coronavirus outbreak, with clubs still waiting for an legit statement on the destiny of the cutting-edge season from the League Management Company, after contributors of the Club Owners Association voted in opposition to the restart of the league season.

  The Nigeria Football Federation General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, had declared that wide consultation was still ongoing as to the format and pattern of foreclosing the 2019/2020 NPFL season.

  Sunshine Stars’ defender, Jamiu Alimi, said he became irked by the lack of conversation between the league organisers and the golf equipment.

  “The uncertainty is incredible, I don’t think everybody knows what’s happening,” – Alimi

  “We don’t recognize if the decision of the club chairmen has been authorised or not. I don’t have a clue. I definitely don’t realize.

  “And we can’t do something on the minute, we haven’t started back, we haven’t even been given a begin date or instructed whilst we will go back to training.”

  Enyimba’s Ifeanyi Anaemena admitted that the league suspension had made life difficult.

  “To be honest, it has been a very tough time for me and all of the footballers. We have been seeking to cope and live in shape at the same time as we await a good statement from the government. Sincerely, no one is aware of while the season or football will restart.

  “The good part of all that is that my club has been paying our salaries monthly, so financially, we are fine.”

  El-Kanemi Warriors’ forward, Kabiru Balogun, added, “We want a few guidance, we want to understand what’s going on. There’s a lot uncertainty and actually no conversation and it’s hurting.”
