Lagos - After a blistering show in the 2013/14 Nigeria
Professional Football League (NPFL) season, the countdown for the new
season has started, SuperSport reports.
There
have been a hue and cry about the kick-off date for the new season
being fixed for March 7 as too distant into the New Year since African
champions, the Super Eagles, will not take part in the Africa Cup of
Nations following their failure to qualify for the tournament in
Equatorial Guinea.
But the off-season has been ongoing with a
handful of transfer speculations involving the movement of players and
managers. The big news of the off-season so far has been the governance
structure.
Two
years down the line, and the Nigerian top flight appears to be getting
out of the wood from its previous governance crisis. The club owners,
who had earlier opposed this governance idea, made the announcement of
the board themselves. The club owners also stated that the NFF general
assembly also ratified the LMC governance structure.
“Following
the endorsement and adoption of the new League Governance Structure for
the Premier League in Nigeria by the NFF Executive Committee and its
subsequent ratification by the General Assembly, as well as approval by
the CAC, a new League Board has been okayed by the Club Owners and the
League Management Company.
