“The players had been instructed to resume last week but the #ENDSARS protests and the subsequent hijacking of the peace process led to our deferring the resumption to this new date which I believe the players will abide by as most roads are clear for travelling. We need to kick-start pre-season activities as a team even when we are encouraged by the number of those that have returned. There will be consequences for any player that fails to hit camp on the fixed date, I assure,” stated the former NPL boss.
Recall that NFF has fixed November 15, 2020 for the start of hostilities in the 2020/2021 NPFL season and teams have started preparing in earnest for the league contest.
