... As LMC okays change of Gabros to FC IfeanyiUbah
AFTER a three-week break, the Globacom Premier League will resume on Sunday, June 14 with Week 11 matches slated to hold across the country.
Unarguably, the star match of the week is the clash between Warri Wolves and Kano Pillars scheduled to hold at the Warri City Stadium, while followers of Nigerian league are also set for the Garden City Classico as Sharks play host to Dolphins in what promises to be a thriller.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Capital Oil Limited, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah has completed the takeover of Gabros International FC following an approval by the League Management Company (LMC).
This was conveyed in a letter signed by the LMC Chairman and NFF vice president, Mallam Shehu Dikko.
As a result of this development, Gabros International will now be known and addressed as FC IfeanyiUbah.
LMC said the approval was granted consequent on the verification of Ifeanyi Ubah Limited’s compliance with requirements for takeover of the club and change of name.
The change of name takes effect from Match Day 11 (June 14) and all points accumulated by Gabros FC have been transferred to FC IfeanyiUbah which now appears on the NPFL fixture and log.
Dikko said: “After submitting to the rigorous process put in place to ensure that only serious business-minded persons and corporate groups are admitted to club ownership, the LMC is satisfied that Dr Ifeanyi Ubah has substantially met the requirements and has been granted approval to take over Gabros International FC.”
