Enforce club licensing rule, ex-players tell LMC
Johnny Edward
Former players of the Nigerian Professional Football League have tasked the League Management Company to fully enforce club licensing rule among NPFL clubs, The PUNCH reports.
The LMC had at the start of the season released a list of conditions for clubs.
On the list, the league organisers directed clubs to show proof of “financial guarantee, commitment and confirmation of availability of a minimum of N200m from the owner of the club for the payment of salaries and other club operations expenses.”
They also demanded for comprehensive insurance for players and officials before the commencement of the league last December.

The PUNCH reports.
Ilechukwu, who is in his third season at the club, said the club had failed to honour several agreements with their players, which had affected the club’s performance lately.
The Naze Millionaires have won three games from their opening nine Nigerian Professional Football League season and are 15th on the log.
“So many issues have affected us this season, but basically I feel they should respect players’ contracts and help us drive this club in the right direction,” Ilechukwu told
The PUNCH.

Coach Fidelis Ilechukwu left Agege Stadium yesterday a satisfied man after picking all three points at stake in the Match day 9 fixture of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) between host MFM FC and Heartland FC.
Ilechukwu led the Naze Millionaires from Owerri to come snatch all three points at stake against MFM FC, the church team where he made his name as a top coach in the country.
Heartland set the ball rolling with Emmanuel Adachi drawing the first blood barely eight minutes into the game from the spot.
However, Olumuyiwa Lawal did not allow the visitors to enjoy the luxury of being in front for long as he leveled scores three minutes after the first half break.
