The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says it has advised the League Management Company (LMC) to ensure the 2018/2019 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season starts no later than January 13.
NFF said it took the decision in reaction to letters received from clubs.
It also confirmed that five clubs would be given a two-week period of grace to recruit players to beef up their teams before going on to play in the NNL Super 8.
“The NNL has thus been directed therefore to pick new dates not later than Jan. 3 for the tournament,’’
