The Progressive Club Chairmen Forum has issued a statement addressing its members following a letter from the Nationwide League One (NLO) dated April 8, 2026, declaring the forum's "non-recognition". In the statement, the forum's chairman emphasized that the organization was established to advocate for the rights and welfare of its member clubs and urged chairmen to remain united and committed to the growth of Nigerian football.
The forum clarified that it has maintained a professional discourse with the NLO Board, pushing for improvements necessary for the league's success, and denied engaging in blackmail or insults. The statement expressed the forum's respect for the NLO leadership and reiterated its commitment to collaboration, emphasizing that the recent letter is an attempt to silence a collective voice seeking transparency.
As the Nationwide League One is set to kick off on April 10, 2026, the forum urged its members to focus on the upcoming season, emphasizing the importance of success on the pitch and professionalism on the field. The statement concluded by wishing all chairmen and their teams success in the new season and urging members to remain focused, united, and undeterred.
The Progressive Club Chairmen Forum's statement is seen as a call to action, reaffirming its commitment to advocating for the rights and welfare of its member clubs, despite the challenges posed by the NLO's "non-recognition".
