RESTRUCTURING NPFL CLUBS
Part 2
Establishment of a football academy
An academy for studies and football should be established by Akwa Ibom Football Club with the aim of grooming youth players for the club, which could be for business (in terms of transfer) or further promotion into the club’s first team. The name of the academy could be called “Akwa Ibom Football Club Academy”, or for language preferences it could also be named “Ufuknwad Football”, meaning school of football. The club finances could be strengthen by the sale of players (mainly youths) who do not break into the first team. Buy back and sell on clauses should be inserted into their contracts before they are sold in case of future occurrences. Also as an academy for studies, young less privilege children with merit in football could be half sponsored by the club along with their academic life. Should the player be a non residence of the state, he should be housed in the academy housing unit.
Transfer Policy
Despite the poor transfer policy witnessed in the Nigeria Professional Football League, the club on the other hand should make sure that the transfer of players to and fro various clubs should be made transparent. Contracts of players should be respected with avoidance of unnecessary dismissal of players, unless in cases of sensitive reasons.
