Coach of Nigeria Professional Football League side Nasarawa united Bala Nkiyu has stated that the league clubs in Nigeria will continue to wait until they get a formal directive from the Nigeria Football Federation intimating them to return just same way the NFF ordered the stoppage of the league in line with Government’s directive.
Nkiyi speaking in a chat with www.brila.net said the current Covid-19 situation has taken it toll on a league that should ordinarily be coming to an end by the end of the month of May but stressed that he hopes the situation comes to an end so that the league can also continue in earnest.
“If NFF is waiting for Government, then definitely clubs must wait for NFF, so it’s a very clear thing. The NFF is in charge of football in Nigeria and again all clubs must wait for the response from the NFF.
If not because of the situation that is happening in the whole world, by now the league would have been ending by the end of this month. But based on what is on ground now, everyone is praying for the whole thing should die down.”
