NPFL Bans Bako Kontagora Stadium Over Poor Conditions

Precious Oham

The board of the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, has banned Niger Tornadoes from prosecuting matches at the Bako Kontagora Stadium, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Ikon Allah Boys have been directed to choose an alternative venue for their next home match from approved NPFL grounds.

This is due to the poor state of the Bako Kontagora Stadium pitch, which falls short of club licensing requirements.

The Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna, which the club also picked as their alternative home ground, is also in need of adequate proper pitch maintenance hence the directive to choose another alternative home ground from the approved NPFL stadia.

Niger Tornadoes can only return to their home ground, Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna, if they put the pitch and other facilities in good shape for television coverage.
