Kwara United have set up protocols to work out adequate compliance with the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Club Licensing regulations for the 2020/21 season.
The Ilorin based club also seems to be working to exorcise their indifferent form of last season that saw them struggle all through and only retained their place in the NPFL as a result of the abrupt ending of the season.
Club Chairman, Kumbi Titiloye told reporters that the management he leads has been striving to navigate through the challenges of the novel COVID 19 Pandemic with a view to making a solid start to the season.
According to Titiloye, the club would have been more active in the pre-season rituals and noted that as it is not peculiar to Kwara United, they have been weathering it out.
Significantly, Kwara United ranks among clubs that have made solid plans to scale club licensing certification.
“We have made good progress by inaugurating two committees, namely, the Medical/Infrastructure Committee and the Finance Committee”, the Kwara Utd boss delightedly disclosed and added, “the Financial Committee has concluded its work and made recommendations that have been acted upon”.
He explained that towards implementing the recommendation to meet Financial Requirements of the Club Licensing Regulation, “Management has written to the Executive Governor to approve the release of the 2020 budgetary provision for the outstanding Contract Fees for Players and Officials which is being expected in the days ahead”.
Titiloye insisted that at Kwara United, the health and safety of the players are prioritized hence the move to also set up the Medical/Infrastructural Committee saddled with the task of examining existing medical facilities and develop a manual to provide the best medicare to the Players including the best examinations and observations in line with the COVID-19 protocols”.
