By Aderonke Ojediran-Lawal
Lagos, Nov. 23, 2016 (NAN) Ex-international, Victor Agali, has appealed to the League Management Company (LMC) to urgently look into the non-payment of salaries by clubs as the 2016 /2017 season approaches.
Agali, who plied his trade with Olympique Marseilles of France and Hansa Rostock FC of Germany, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday that the non-payment of salaries is demoralising to players.

“I have heard a lot of stories of professional league clubs owing five months, six months.
“It’s uncalled for; it’s detrimental to the players’ health; it’s detrimental to the players’ future.
“The league organisers should look into that and ensure that these players get what they are promised at the end of each month.
“And if it exceeds three months, a proper disciplinary action should be taken against those clubs.
“We don’t need to have 18 teams (in the league).
“If it’s 12 serious teams that we have, let us keep them and then let our league be organised.’’
