Breaking News: Unijos Women’s Team Banned for Two Years Over Use of Mercenaries

In a major disciplinary move at this year’s NUGA Games, the University of Jos, the host institution, has been handed a two-year ban and a ₦250,000 fine for fielding mercenaries in the women’s football event.

The sanction follows investigations confirming that the Unijos female team featured ineligible players during the tournament. The decision, though tough, underscores NUGA’s commitment to fairness and integrity across all sporting categories.

This development is a significant blow to the host school’s hopes in women’s football and sends a strong warning to all participating institutions ahead of future games.
