Nigeria League Clubs Get 14-Day Ultimatum To Pay Players, Coaches

 

Nigeria players’ union, the National Association of Nigeria Professional Footballers (NANPF), have ordered clubs in the country’s top divisions, to pay up all outstanding bonuses and allowances to their players and coaches.
“As a result of the failure of the affected clubs to comply with the arbitration decisions as communicated to them by the Nigeria Football Federation and the League Management Company, the Nigeria players’ union have issued the indebted clubs 14 days within which to pay the affected players and coaches or be ready to face the consequences of their non-compliance,” a statement by NANPF read.
NANPF have opened discussions with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, after they failed to secure necessary statutory sanctions of the clubs, for non-compliance by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and league bodies.

      The union however commended the Kwara State Government, for paying their debts to players and coaches, in compliance with the arbitration verdict.
