 NPFL Fines Nasarawa United N6m, Banishes Team to Gombe After Fan Attack on Player The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has imposed a N6 million fine on Nasarawa United for failing to provide adequate security during their matchday 33 clash against Plateau United, which ended in a 3-2 victory for the hosts. The NPFL also ordered the Solid Miners to play their remaining home matches this season at Pantami Stadium in Gombe, following an incident where Plateau United forward Vincent Temitope was attacked by a home supporter. Nasarawa United has been directed to identify the culprit responsible for causing bodily harm to Temitope and provide evidence of their legal prosecution. Additionally, the club must implement effective matchday security and crowd control measures and submit a plan to the NPFL board before they can return to Lafia City Stadium in future seasons. The Lafia-based club has 48 hours from the date of the notice to appeal the sanctions.

FG UNCOVERED 32 ROUTES THROUGH WHICH FOOD ITEMS ARE SMUGGLED OUT OF NIGERIA. (PHOTO).


 The Federal Government says it has uncovered 32 routes through which food items are smuggled out of Nigeria. 



Vice President Kashim Shettima disclosed this while addressing a conference on Public Wealth Management held in Abuja on Tuesday, February 20.


He said on the midnight of Sunday, February 18, 45 trucks loaded with maize were intercepted while making their way to neighboring countries.


ā€œJust three nights ago, 45 trucks of maize were caught being transported to neighboring countries. Just in that Ilela axis, there are 32 illegal smuggling routes. And the moment those food stuff were intercepted, the price of maize came down by N10,000. It came down from N60,000 to N50,000. So, there are forces that are hell-bent on undermining our nation but this is the time for us to coalesce into a singular entity,ā€ he said

 

Shettima, who acknowledged that Nigeria is passing through turbulent time, assured the people of the country that the pain will not last forever. 


He, however, condemned a situation whereby some persons fuel the embers of division and violence because of the current situation.


ā€œWe have to make this country work. We have to move beyond politics. We are now in the face of governance. Sadly, some of our countrymen are still in the political mode. They are the practitioners of violence, advocating that Nigeria should go the Lebanon way. But, Nigeria is greater than anyone of us here. Nigeria will weather the storm. Forces are hell-bent on plunging this country into a state of anarchy. Those who could not get to power through the ballot box, instead for them to wait till 2027, are so desperate,ā€ he said.
