Postponement In a letter to the Chairman of Giwa FC communicating the postponement, the Chief Operating Officer of the LMC, Salihu Abubakar reminded the Club that the said ruling has been appealed by the NFF which also filed for stay of execution. The letter reads: - The said court order you referred to has been appealed by the NFF and a stay of execution has been filed. Until the final determination of the pending issues by the courts the ordinary course of events must continue. The LMC further stated that it has been properly advised on the issue and arrived at decisions to ensure that the league season is concluded as scheduled without hitches and arrears of fixtures. Decision Accordingly, the LMC has directed that the Giwa vs Nasarawa game must now be played Thursday 30th October 2014 at the same venue in Abuja.
