The commissioner opined that it became important to meet with the team and address challenges and offer immediate solutions geared towards getting desired results.

Yusuf-Ogunleye said he would look into the issues of fake registration, betting and others that had been alleged to have affected the team negatively.
“The challenges will be addressed and those acts of insubordination and indiscipline will be a thing of the past. Moreso, let me quickly inform you all that I will increase your match bonus, feeding allowance will also be be increased and other entitlements will improve,” he said
The commissioner directed that electricity be restored at the team’s camp while placing a ban on players boarding a bike to training sessions .
“It’s shocking to hear you players talk about the bad state of your hostel; from this moment, it will be conducive, electricity will be restored from today and please let me notify everyone here that an end has come to players taking bike to training sessions, you are professionals and it’s time to treat you as real professionals,” he added.
