NPFL Rescinds Ban on Sammy Wejinya
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has rescinded the ban imposed on Mr. Sammy Wejinya.
The decision to quash the sanction on Wejinya was reached after he appeared before a panel that sat to review his case after he wrote to request a retrial.
Chairman of the NPFL, Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye, confirmed the board’s decision and remarked that”Mr. Sammy Wejinya appeared before an investigative panel set up to review his case following his letter of apology and appeal for a review of his case.
“The panel sat on March 3, 2025, during which Mr. Wejinya again tendered a verbal apology and explained the circumstances surrounding his failure to honour the earlier invitation. “
Elegbeleye further explained that the NPFL Board would always apply its rules as a corrective measure as against punitive intent.
“Our decisions at all times are guided by the objective to correct and not to harm our players, officials, and clubs.
“This has informed the decision to rescind the ruling banning Mr Wejinya who has made enormous contributions to the NPFL through his media space,” the NPFL Chairman stated.
He said the panel which reviewed the case, acknowledged in their report to the Board the circumstances surrounding Wejinya’s inability to honour the earlier invitation and also took special notice of the steps he took to remedy the situation through a new letter of apology and volunteered willingness to appear before the panel.
“Mr Wejinya tendered apology for any distress his publication may have caused the league and provided evidence of the physical injuries he endured as well as his material losses”, Elegbeleye said in a letter conveying the Board’s decision.
He said that while the Board acknowledged the physical assault on his person and loss of valuables, Wejinya was admonished to always exhaust the appropriate channels of seeking redress as against the rush to media escalation
Mr. Wejinya was further warned not to get involved in activities that can bring the league to disrepute, either by himself or in concert with other persons or groups.
Wejinya was suspended from all NPFL activities for the rest of the season after he published a viral story that was deemed to have portrayed the league in bad light following an incident at the Lafia Township Stadium.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
