A football coach and administrator, Austin Tyowua, has said
it will amount to wickedness for any club in the Nigeria Professional Football
League to cut down players’ salaries in the name of Covid-19 crisis.
Following the suspension of football activities around the
world due to the coronavirus pandemic, most clubs in Europe have of recent
slashed the wages of their players and officials in order to stay afloat.
Consequently, there are fears that NPFL clubs may decide to
emulate Nigeria National League side, Yobe Desert Stars who recently slashed
salaries and allowances of their players and officials. (Text and photo
