LMC Insists On League Schedules

The League Management
Company (LMC) has released a statement assuring stakeholders that the Glo Premier League would go on as scheduled, ruling out the possibility of re-admitting Giwa FC.
A High Court in Jos yesterday granted an interim injunction restraining both the LMC and the Nigeria Footaball Federation (NFF) from excluding Giwa FC from the Glo Premier League, after the Jos-based club challenged their expulsion from the league.
Chairman of the LMC, Nduka Irabor, has, however, released a statement, stating that the league organizers are not aware of the judgement.
“We have received several enquiries concerning a rumour spreading that there is a Court order stopping the League,” the statement read.
“We wish to clarify that we’re not aware of any such Court order and will seek appropriate legal advice from our lawyers concerning this rumour.
He went on to reassure all the participating clubs, referees, match commissioners, fans and all other stakeholders that the scheduled fixtures for the Nigeria Professional Football League Glo Premier League will continue to hold as scheduled.
Giwa FC were thrown out of the league along with Nembe City FC as a result of their failure to meet with the compulsory registration requirements as directed by CAF and FIFA.
