NNL: ABIA COMETS GIVE REASONS FOR SACKING 21 PLAYERS
Abia Comets have revealed the reason behind their decision to sack 21 players.
The Nigeria National League (NNL) side announced the sacking of the players on Monday.
Chairman of the club, Boniface Uche said that the gesture was aimed at re-engineering the team for a better performance next season.
Uche stressed that the players dropped were mostly those whose contracts have expired and those who are on loan with the club.
He assured that more quality players will be recruited ahead of the new season.
“I want to be quoted anywhere, Abia Comets is not owing any player nor staff. Everyone has been paid as at when due,” he told the media.
“We didn’t sack any of our staff, unless those whose contracts elapsed with the season. As we prepare for the new season, those of them that their services will be needed, will be recalled.”
