The NPFL Chairman, Gbenga Elegbeleye disclosed this during a roundtable chat with the league reporters in Akure.

Elegbeleye assured that the league organisers will not compromise standard.

He stressed that the NPFL will ensure that the rules are adhered to without favouritism.

“From the beginning of next season we are going to do an upward review of players salaries,” Elegbeleye stated during the meeting.

“We have started with the reduction of three points from any erring team and financial punishment to ensure that the visiting teams are not intimidated.

“Since we started reducing three points it is the home teams that are now protecting away teams.

“The home team must win syndrome has reduced drastically, on match day one of the current season, we recorded no fewer than four away wins.

“We must insist on the rule and not compromising the standards to get it right. There are lots of investors who are ready to partner us for the growth of the league.”
