Taraba Queens Refuse To Proceed On Christmas Break Over Unpaid Wages

The ugly trend of lack of motivation of women footballers in Nigeria has taken another dimension.Taraba Queens players are still stuck up in camp due to non payment of their six months wages and other entitlements.

Most footballers in the Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) and the Nigeria Women Professional Football League (NWPFL) have been relegated to the murky waters by majority of their club managements.

A recent example was when the management of Bayelsa Queens deducted the girls salaries and also paid them just 15% of their 2013/14 sign-on-fee. The girls were then decamped after the shabby treatment.

Majority of the players on the payroll of Taraba Queens are crossed with the authorities managing their affairs.

They have resolved to collect their due entitlements before agreeing to go Christmas Break, according to sources close to us.

Most of the players are the bread winners of their families. They depend on what they earn to feed their loved ones.

Some are not interested in defending the colours of the team in the 2014/15 NWPL campaign
