Speaking on the state of the country’s club football yesterday, Chukwu says Nigerian clubs are not well funded and therefore cannot meet the challenges posed by international football. But any time Nigerian teams want to travel they struggle for fund to even carry the complete number of players registered for the competition in commercial flights.“Again, Nigerian talented players are always moving to North Africa, Asia, North America and European leagues. If Nigerian players were well paid, they will remain here. I think Nigeria is the only country government sponsors clubs and it does not augur well for our teams. “Individuals and corporate bodies have to help to grow Nigerian football,” he said.
