Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, has called for an abridged league format for 2023-24 Nigeria Premier Football League season.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the previous season was run on an abridged league format and produced Enyimba as the champions.
Gusau disclosed this in a meeting with the chieftains of the Nigeria Premier League board and the Club Owners Association at the Sunday Dankaro House at Package B of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium.
He urged the league hierarchy to ponder over the suggestion.
“I have a personal opinion and that is support for the abridged league. I know most of you will be shocked, but that is my personal opinion.
“How many governments or clubs can sustain 38-matches on the road? I leave you to ponder and take a decision on that,” Gusau stated.
Enyimba won the 2022-23 NPL season after coming top at the Super 6 championship playoffs in Lagos.
The Aba Elephants and Remo Stars will represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League while Rivers United and Insurance of Benin will feature in the Confederations cup.
