Ruth David, NFF Director of Competitions, stated on Monday that the football governing body will no longer tolerate some FAs’ disruptive behavior in setting their own timetables that differ from those of the NFF.

“The NFF has explicitly stated in the schedule from the beginning that the States must play their final matches on either Saturday, March 30th, or Sunday, March 31st. We have also reminded the states of this schedule, and any state that fails to comply with the dates shall bear responsibility.
“Any state that fails to complete its championship by Sunday, March 31st, will be fined N1 million. Any state that finishes its championship before Saturday, March 30th, will be fined the same amount of money.”
