NPFL threatens Kano Pillars with stadium ban over non-functional flood lighting
By Sabiu Abdullahi
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has issued a stern warning to Kano Pillars, threatening to revoke their provisional approval to host matches at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano if the stadium’s floodlights are not operational by their next home game on Matchday 22.
The league body reminded the club of their commitment to fix the floodlights, a promise made when they were granted approval to return to the stadium last November.
In a statement, the NPFL stated, “Should the flood lighting not be functional for the team’s next home fixture on Matchday 22, Kano Pillars would play home games at any approved venue.”
Earlier in the season, the four-time league champions were forced to play their home matches at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium in Katsina.
The ‘Sai Masu Gida’ are scheduled to host El-Kanemi Warriors this Sunday.
The Daily Reality understands that failure to comply with the directive may see Kano Pillars exiled from their home ground once again.
