Kaduna United FC players have begged the management of the club to pay them their salaries for the 2013/2014 season.
The plea was made known by assistant captain, Ali Adam who said that many of the players have left the team due to non-payment of the salary arrears.
Adam said: “Most of us are bread winners of our family; we now
work without motivation. We protested peacefully to tell the government
about the hardship we are facing but no response”.
“We have been suffering since the 2013 Glo Premier league season, and this made the club to be relegated to the lower division.
“The players could not play well because they were thinking of how to survive. We are very sad because life has not been easy for us and some of us are students who struggle to pay our school fees.
“When you work without being paid, how do they expect you to survive and play well?’’
Adam also said that Nigerian clubs are currently preparing for the new season but Kaduna Utd can’t because of the issue.
The Chief Coach of the club, Barnabas Saleh, said the state government had approved the money to settle the salary arrears but the money had yet to be released.
“We hope to start training as soon as we get the money,” he said.
He expressed the hope that the players would get enough motivation this season that would take the club back to the premier league division.
