Chairman, Nigeria National League, Mr George Aluo has stated that the Board of the Nigeria National League, NNL is not ready to mortgage the rules  guiding the smooth running of the league.

This is sequel to the news that broke out from the Board of the Nigeria National League, NNL, wherein Malumfashi FC was evicted from the second tier league

The chairman of the NNL, George Aluo was equivocal as the guest on the leading WhatsApp Sports group in Nigeria , *Sports World*  he giving reasons for their decision to send parking the.Katsina outfit side from the Most Important League. The journalist turns Administrator also decried the claims of high-handedness on handling the issue related to participating clubs saying all what they are doing are in.line with global best practices 

The Lagos based Football administrator noted that Malumfashi was not ready to play a professional football turning their venue to war front. He added that the club did not honour the 2 league matches in quick succession

"Malumfashi has clearly breached the rules of the league. Remember that this same Malumfashi FC was thrown out of the league alongside Gateway FC. We are not playing amateur football,the Nigeria National League is a professional league and teams that are ready to participate must be ready to be professional, not just in words but in all ramifications."

He said:
"When Malumfashi were brought back home, their very first game against Sokoto United, the referees were attacked,the match was not finished and there was tear gas.
That is the only incident we had this season in the NNL.

He continued;
"As a responsible league board that wants discipline, we decided to banish them to Kaduna but they did not honour their match against Sokoto United, and thereafter they did not honour the next two games."

"We did all these.quoting relevant sections of the rule book. We did not do anything outside the rules of the games as it clearly says that if you missed two games,you are out.
Thus,the issue of high-handedness does not arise, we cannot compromise the standards,that is why we had to send Malumfashi packing from the NNL"

The NNL board chairman concluded.
