To refresh our minds, the genesis of the crisis was the decision, by the LMC to suspend the NPFL following the resurrection of the leadership tussle between Amaju Pinnick and Chris Giwa. This coupled by the fact that the league had also lost some weeks as a result of the ill-advised decision of the LMC to suspend the league because of the 2018 FIFA World Cup made it impossible to conclude the season early enough for the country’s representatives in the CAF elite club competitions, the Champions League and the Confederation Cup to be known.
