NPFL poor run: Niger state govt wields big stick, sacks Tornadoes mgt

The management committee of Niger Tornadoes football club have been dissolved by Niger State government.

After accessing a copy of the letter of dissolution which was served on the Chairman of the club, Blueprint was reliably informed that a sole administrator would be appointed to take over the affairs of the club.

Confirming the latest development, Niger state Commissioner of Sports, Mr. Duza Babur in a pres statement he personally issued said the decision was carried out after due consultation with relevant stakeholders.

The statement further read: “This dissolution is premised on the dismal performance of the club in the current Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). In addition, the seemingly continuous administrative lapses of the management have reached an intolerable level and the ministry is leftwith no-further option than to take this drastic action.

“We wish to reiterate that despite several meetings and advise from the ministry to the management, the management has continued to demonstrate the lack of wherewithal to bring the club out of its present predicament.

“Consequent, the once dreaded and admired Niger Tornadoes have now become a subject of mockery . This has led to loss of confidence by the supporters of the club.

“Following these submission, the ministry has no other option than to dissolve the management and appoint a sole administrator to pilot the affairs of the club to the end of the season.

“The sole administrator is expected to work hand in hand with ministry to bring the club out of the mess and take it to the next level.”
