Former Super Eagles striker and coach, Samson Siasia, has bemoaned the apparent lack of concern by the Nigeria Football Federation and the League Management Company, for the stonewall that has hit the Nigeria Professional Football League and the Nigeria National League in recent times.
The crisis that rocked the foundations of the NFF months ago, threw both the NPFL and the NNL into an indefinite halt, leaving the 2017/2018 season incomplete till date.
The 2019 season cannot begin because teams that will join the NPFL from the national league are yet to be determined, and this is a cause for great worry to fans, footballers and officials alike.

Siasia has urged the management of the NFF and the LMC to look into the matter and chart a way forward for the leagues.
“I have said many times that we don’t have a league in Nigeria. It is laughable that a league was abandoned halfway and no team was relegated while you are adding more teams to the league.
“It is a big problem because the league, which is the bedrock of football in the country is dying. The LMC (League Management Company), the NNL (Nigeria National League ) and others concerned should… chart a way forward.”
