In another development, the Interim Management Committee (IMC) organizers of the NPFL have rescheduled the match day 15 fixture between Dakkada F.C of Uyo and Rangers International F.C earlier fixed for Saturday, April 22, 2023, to now be played on Monday, April 24, 2023, with kickoff scheduled for 2.00 P.M at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
Correspondence from the NPFL and endorsed by the Head, of the Competition Department for the head of Operations, Dr. Sunday Obaseki, stated that the unavailability of the stadium for the match due to the fact that it would be hosting a CAF Confederation Cup, 1st leg, quarter-final match between Rivers United and Young Africans of Tanzania, necessitated the rescheduling of the match.
