Rangers International FC, reigning champions of the Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL, faces growing unrest among players and staff due to delayed wages. The team, currently third in the league standings, has yet to receive November salaries, causing tension as they prepare to defend their title.
Despite financial constraints, the club has been effectively managed by General Manager Barrister Amobi Ezeaku, who has attracted sponsorships to sustain operations. However, the delayed wages have dampened morale, particularly with the holiday season approaching.
