By a Circular from the League Management Company (LMC), addressed to club chairmen/general managers dated 17th August 2016 and titled “Expulsion of Giwa FC from the Nigeria Professional Football League”, the LMC appeared to have in one swoop reinstated Giwa FC to the Nigerian League after months of expelling them, while directing that No club shall henceforth feature any player whose registration it acquired on the basis of the expulsion of Giwa FC, effectively withdrawing such registrations.
