Ikorodu City, Nasarawa United, and Kano Pillars were also slapped with hefty fines of N3 million, N3 million, and N2 million respectively. Enyimba FC received the smallest fine of N1 million.
The NPFL’s decision to impose these fines sends a strong message to all teams participating in the league that any form of misconduct or violation of league regulations will not be tolerated. The league’s commitment to fair play and integrity is non-negotiable, and teams that fail to comply with league regulations will face the consequences.
