Sports facilities expert Ebi Egbe has called for a state of emergency on infrastructure in the Nigeria Premier Football League after the league slumped to 91st in the world rankings.​ Egbe, CEO of Monimichelle Sports Facilities Construction Limited, said the sharp drop confirmed years of neglect of basic football infrastructure.
