Optima Energy NLO Super 8 : Liberty Fc Warns Media Officer Over Unguided Statement
The management of JM Liberty Fc of Makurdi have warned Teerfa Beeor Alaghga, the media officer of the club over unguided statement capable of bringing the on -going Optima Energy NLO Super 8 to disrepute.
Alaghga had earlier posted on the official facebook page of the club after his team defeated Ottasolo 3-0 on Tuesday morning that some clubs registered new players for the NLO Super 8, which was against the rules.
But he ignorantly exposed himself and the club to public ridicule as official document from the NLO indicated that participating teams should at least register five new players for the tournament.
This unguided statement did not go down well with the management of his club, which made Jeremiah Avungu, president of JM Liberty Fc to warn him never to make such statement again on the official facebook page of the club, though it was later pulled down.
“It was shocking for the media officer to post such statement that can cause crisis on the official facebook page of the club. He has been warned and if he tries that next time, he will be suspended indefinitely,” Jeremiah Avungu told NLO media.
JM Liberty Fc with four points from two games will play her last group game against red – hot Campus Fc of Owerri on Wednesday.
Campus Fc lead group b with six points, having won her two games.

The National Sports Commission (NSC) has applauded the Nigerian contingent at the 2025 Spanish Parabadminton International, after another impressive outing that saw the team secure a gold and a bronze medal in Toledo, Spain, on Sunday.
Paralympic medallist Eniola Bolaji continued her dominance, winning her second gold medal in two weeks with a commanding 2-0 (21-7, 21-10) victory over Turkey’s Halime Yildiz in the women’s SL3 final. Bolaji had won gold a week earlier at the Spanish International in Victoria, Spain.
In the men’s SL4 doubles event, Nnana Jeremiah and Eze Chukwuebuka delivered a strong performance, battling their way to a well-deserved bronze medal.
NSC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, commended the athletes for making Nigeria proud and praised the Badminton Federation of Nigeria, led by Francis Orbih, for ensuring the team’s optimal performance on the international stage.
“These athletes have once again showcased the resilience and talent that define Nigerian sports. Their success is a lucid indication of their hard work and the strategic leadership we demand from the Badminton Federation and other sports federations. We are proud of them and remain committed to supporting their journey to greater heights,” Dikko said.
Director General of the NSC, Hon. Bukola Olopade, emphasized that the achievements align with President Bola Tinubu’s vision of strengthening grassroots sports while ensuring Nigeria competes favorably on the global stage.
“As part of our mandate under President Tinubu’s administration, we are committed to developing talent from the grassroots and supporting our elite athletes to bring home international laurels. The NSC will continue to back the strategic vision of sports federations as we work towards building a strong and sustainable sports ecosystem,” Olopade stated.
Since the National Sports Commission leadership took office, Nigerian contingents have continued to impress internationally including international successes in cricket and basketball recorded thus far. The NSC leadership stated that no stone will be left unturned until Nigerian sports reaches its full potentials.
