“You are advised to put all necessary logistics in place at Akure Township Stadium for hitch-free games for the rest of the season”, the letter read in part.
The Ilorin stadium home Kwara United is still undergoing renovation.

It also drew an away game against the homers, Shooting Stars Sports Club.
Kwara United defeated Akwa United 2-1, lost by a lone goal to Bendel Insurance, and drew the two others, against Gombe United and Remo Stars.
