Despite losing their match-day 35 fixture in Lafia, losing 2-1 to Nasarawa United last month, the Port Harcourt-based club retained a 10-point gap at the top of the table after second-place Plateau United suffered a 2-1 defeat at Akwa United the same day.

Rivers United will lead the Nigerian Contingent on the African continent with opportunity for exploits in the CAF Champions League, alongside Plateau United while Remo Stars of Ikenne will settle for the last automatic slot in the CAF confederations Cup. At the Bottm of the table, Dakkada FC of Uyo beat the drop on the last day with a 3-0 Victory over Sunshine stars in Uyo on Match day 38 to condemn MFM, Kano Pillars and Heartland, who all dropped to the Nigerian National League, where they’ll ply their trade next season.

Kano Pillars Boss Suspended by Football Club Owners Association of Nigeria

The Football Club Owners Association of Nigeria (Club Owners) have placed an indefinite suspension on the chairman of Kano Pillars FC Yahaya Surajo over his unsportsmanlike behavior during the rescheduled NPFL Match Day 31 between Kano Pillars FC vs Dakkada FC in Kano Thursday. In a viral video made available to the Association, Alh. Surajo was seen to have physically assaulted the Assistant Referee AR1 in the match , which the Club Owners described as unfortunate, unacceptable and a bad representation of what the Association stands for. “The club owners have therefore placed the chairman of Kano Pillars FC Malam Yahaya Surajo on indefinite suspension from all activities of the Association forthwith  pending the outcome of a detailed investigation into the unfortunate incident”  Alloy Chukwuemeka, the Executive Secretary of the Association said in a statement in Abuja. Club Owners comprised of astute football Administrators who have distinguished themselves in several fields of human endeavors with the expected high level of discipline in the management of their various clubs, hence the action of Alh. Surajo did not represent his status as a member of the Association. The Association frowns at his behavior which has brought the game to disrepute, coming less than 48hours after a joint meeting of the LMC and Club Owners exco had warned against acts capable of causing negative image to the League. The chairman of the Association Chief Barr. Isaac Danladi has therefore directed that the Kano Pillars boss Surajo would face a disciplinary committee to defend his action or otherwise, before he could be readmitted into the club Owners Association.

Coach Kennedy Boboye Leaves Akwa United

2-time Nigeria Professional Football League winning Coach; Kennedy Boboye has parted ways with reigning NPFL champions Akwa United after a run of poor results in the current Nigeria Professional Football League season. Boboye walked away after Akwa United’s goalless draw at home against Heartland FC on match-day 12 in Uyo – their third successive draw at home in six matches. Boboye who took over from Coach John Obuh in December 2019, led Akwa United to their first NPFL title last season but has failed to replicate that form after twelve rounds of matches this season in which his side has managed four victories, five draws and three defeats, leaving the club 8th on the log with 17 points from 12 games. The club through its Media Department expressed the best of wishes to Coach Boboye in his future endeavour.
