LMC: GIWA FC REGAINS LEAGUE SPOT

NPFL: LMC Confirms Giwa FC Return To The League.

The League Management Company (LMC), has confirmed the return of Giwa Football Club to the
Nigeria Professional Football League.

In a letter signed by the Chairman of Company,
Mallam Shehu Dikko, the LMC stated that its
decision was strictly in adherence with the court
order reinstating the club in the top flight league.

It will be recalled that a High Court sitting in Jos
with Circular No. 10/2016, dated 20th May 2016
had ordered the LMC to reinstate Giwa FC to the
Nigeria Professional Football League.

“However, as a law abiding corporate entity, LMC
has taken immediate steps to effect compliance
with the directives of the Court, as contained in the
Order, pending the hearing and determination of
the Motion on Notice.

“To this end, kindly be advised that Giwa FC has
been restored to the NPFL Table, while further
processes are being activated to reschedule the
matches concerning the Club, in accordance with
the NPFL Framework and Rules, 2015/2016
Season,” Dikko stated.

The League Management Company has also
asked players of the club (Giwa Fc) to return to
their club.

“No club shall henceforth feature any player
whose registration it acquired on the basis of the
expulsion of Giwa FC, as all such registrations are
withdrawn.

The above is for your information and compliance,” the Chairman said.

It will be recalled that Giwa Fc were thrown out of
league following their refusal to obey the League
Management Company’s order to play in Ilorin
after a crowd trouble ensued in a home game
against Rangers International at the Rwang Pam
Stadium, Jos.
