The National Association of Nigerian Professional Footballers (NANPF) has frowned at what has been described as indiscriminate sacking of players by some Nigerian football clubs.
In a statement released by the union’s communication department and signed its president, Tijani Babangida, MON, it unequivocally regarded the acts of sacking who are contracted to the clubs during the season as unfair and unprofessional.
” We are not happy with the unfair treatments meted Nigerian footballers. Unfortunately, it has become recurring acts for Nigerian clubs to sack players on flimsy excuses. It is an act of sheer wickedness and unprofessionalism.
” We want to advise these clubs to desist from such acts. It is inimical to the development of Nigerian football as well as militating against the welfare of Nigerian footballers,” the former Nigeria international player lamented.
It further adviced the affected players to make official reports and also furnish the union with documents on their subsisting contracts with the erring clubsides.
