 NPFL: Rangers Postpone Resumption Date

The management of the ‘Flying Antelopes’, Rangers International of Enugu led by Prince Davidson Owumi, has announced the postponement of the earlier resumption date it gave its returning and new players for the 2020/2021 league season.

After a brief management meeting on Monday, the GM/CEO, Prince Owumi, stated that the postponement became necessary due largely to the current announcement from NCDC/PTF over the Covid-19 health protocols.

“We are a law-abiding institution and will in no way flaunt laws put in place by a well constituted government body like NCDC and PTF. The earlier information at our disposal made us make our earlier announcement for our players to return but with further clarifications from NCDC and PTF, we are compelled to direct our players against returning to the players’ camp. When we get clearance, they will be informed of when to return,” stated Owumi.

Recall that both old and new players had been instructed to report for duties at the weekend following earlier information on the lifting of suspension on football activities but with the latest directive reversing the earlier order, management decided to call a halt for the resumption of activities in obedience to the Covid-19 health protocols.
