The League Management Committee, LMC, has said that the Glo Nigeria Professional Football League, would improve by the time the second stanza kicks off.

The Executive Secretary of NPFL, Tunji Babalola, told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN Monday in Lagos that the first stanza of the league ended on Sunday after Week 19 fixtures and went on a two-week break.

Babalola told NAN that all outstanding matches would be played during the break, to ensure that the league ended as scheduled.

The secretary added that most of the outstanding matches were as a result of the continental engagement by some clubs.

“Most of the outstanding matches are as a result of continental engagements, especially for Rangers International of Enugu. So, we have to give concessions.
