The Nigeria Football League (NFL) have postponed the international
seminar scheduled to begin tommorow (Thursday) in Abuja because
of some logistics problems.
In a statement in Abuja on Monday, the league board said speakers
expected to deliver papers at the seminar were all in Beijing
, China for the Olympics and advised invited guest and members
of the public that the event had been pushed forward to August
25–27.
NFL, however, insisted that the draw for the league would
be held in Abuja today. According to the Acting Chairman of
NFL, Shehu Gusau, the need to hold the league draw was informed
by the nearness of the league resumption date and asked all
Premier League clubs to be present at the draw.
“We have moved the international seminar which was scheduled
to commence from (Thurday) to August 25–27 to allow
our speakers to return from Beijing.
However, we have agreed that the league draw will hold today.
