Former Nigeria international Friday Ekpo has tasked administrators in the Nigerian league to hand league players proper and longer contracts in a bid to control the movement and transfer of players within and outside the league.
Ekpo speaking in a chat with www.brila.net said the Francophone countries have done well in this regard with regards to proper handling of players transfers especially when players get contract offers abroad.
“We need to do certain things to move our football forward, if you go to these Francophone areas players don’t abscond when the time comes to move abroad because they are tied on contract that don’t allow them do that and our administrators need to learn that very well and begin to give players contract to sign. When you tie a player down for three years, all these things will be perfectly okay for Nigerian football.”
