Bayelsa United Addresses Staff on Payment Delays

Bayelsa United has communicated to its staff about outstanding payments, attributing the delay to limited resources that have led the club to prioritize players with valid contracts ahead of the new season. The statement was made by the club's Chairman, Dr Tarila Singabele, and signed by the media adviser, Ebi Avi.

Singabele emphasized that this decision aligns with best practices aimed at ensuring team stability. Additionally, the club is undergoing a full restructuring of its backroom staff to meet the technical and administrative requirements necessary for securing a promotion ticket to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for the upcoming season.

Singabele acknowledged that the restructuring process has impacted the immediate payment timeline but urged all involved to remain calm, assuring that the matter will be resolved soon and payments will be made.
