… 3 out of 4 Akwa Ibom State Government teams relegated at the end of the Sir Monday Ebong Uko Administration

Dakkada FC, Ibom Youth FC and Ibom Angels FC have been relegated a step lower in the various Nigeria League System after having a poor run this season. The only team that has apparently survived is Akwa United FC.

The teams are managed by the Akwa Ibom State Government under the supervision of the Ministry of Youth and Sports headed by Sir Monday Ebong Uko, the Honorable commissioner for Youths and Sports in the state.

Dakkada FC this season had the worst recruitment of players at the beginning of the season. The team finished off in the league losing 10 matches this season winning only 3 games. According to a reliable source in the club, Dakkada FC management allegedly recruited players not by merit but “Slot” and “Placements”.

After 4 years in the league, the club will now be playing in the Nigeria National League while NNL Group B2 topper FC ONE ROCKET will likely be replacing Dakkada in the NPFL after a successful Super 8 as the second NPFL in Akwa Ibom but privately owned.

Ibom Angels and Ibom Youth are not farther to Dakkada as with issues of poor recruitment and poor management of the teams.

In a press release by the club issued on Monday, the club thanked the Akwa Ibom State Government and Sir Monday Ebong Uko for their to the club.

It is not yet confirmed if Dakkada FC will be participating in the Nigeria National League next season or if it will be permanently closing up shop as they were rumors of the club wanting to sell out to a private body.
