Enyimba, six others have players licenses restored

Following full compliance with the arbitration decisions of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Players Status Committee, the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has restored licenses of newly transferred and registered players of seven of the ten defaulting clubs.

In a letter conveying the development to the clubs, the NPFL Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, commended the clubs for complying swiftly with the requirements, which will enable them play to their full strength.

The clubs are Enyimba International, El-Kanemi Warriors, Plateau United, and Bayelsa United.

Others are Lobi Stars, Heartland, and Akwa United.

In the case of Akwa United, the licenses were restored on the directive of the NFF pending ongoing further investigations into their case.

With the development, two other clubs, Abia Warriors, Katsina United, and Kwara United, are still not off the hook as they are yet to comply with the ruling on their cases.
