LMC boss promise to punish clubs that fail to adhere to the stipulated guidelines

Nduka Irabor, chairman of League Management Company (LMC), the body responsible for organising the Nigeria premier league has warned clubs in the Nigeria Premier League that any club that fall short on the 100 million naira bond requirement as part of the conditions for registration in the upcoming GNPL season will be thrown out of the League without fear or favour.

“We won’t tolerate clubs who fail to provide the 100 million naira bond; as a matter of fact they will be thrown out of the League because we can’t be moving forward and some people will be dragging us behind, we can compromise on some aspect of the requirements but certainly not with the issue of financial bond” said Nduka Irabor.

Irabor emphasized that the LMC zero tolerance stand on the issue of 100 million naira bond is to ensure that players are not been owed backlog of salaries and to ensure that clubs comply with the new minimum wage of 150,000 naira.

He therefore advised owners and financiers of teams in the elite division in Nigeria to make it possible for their clubs to meet the demands and guidelines for the new NPFL season scheduled to start on the 21st of February.
