NRFF Appeals For Understanding As Regional Leagues Commences.

The Vice President of the Nigerian Rugby Football Federation, Olatunji Fasimoye has appealed to all lovers of the game, club owners and players to exercise more patience with the organizers of the leagues over the recent postponement of the commencement day of the second phase of the regional leagues.

He attributed the last minute decision by the leagues’ organizing committee to the postponement of the election date from February 14th to March 28th 2015.

Reacting to questions from newsmen, the former Nigerian Rugby international explained that “the 2nd phase of the leagues was supposed to kick off February 28th 2015 but to our shock, the election was postponed which affected a lot of things”

He said although a new date has not been fixed, but “immediately after the election, the leagues will kick off”
