Giwa Duo Tony Bulus, Ibrahim Shuaibu Claim April LBA

-


Giwa Fc head coach, Tony Bulus and striker Ibrahim Shuaibu, have emerged winners of the League Bloggers Awards (LBA) Manager and Player respectively for the month of April.


It is the first time that both men will be named winners of the prestigious award, which honours the best players and managers in the Glo Premier League.


Bulus claimed the manager's award by fending off close challenges from Kennedy Boboye (stand-in Sunshine Stars head coach for Englishman Paul Ashworth), Abdu Maikaba (Wikki Tourists) and Kadiri Ikhana (Enyimba).


The Giwa FC manager edged the rest of the pack by finishing the month of April unbeaten after guiding his team to two wins, including an away win at Enugu Rangers.


Boboye, Maikaba and Ikhana could only help their teams to two wins apiece.


In the player's category, it was quite a battle among Shuaibu, Enyimba striker Mfon Udoh, Bayelsa United goalkeeper Bassey Akpan, Ubong Ekpai of Kano Pillars and Wikki's Godwin Obaje.

However, the battle was down to three players - Shuaibu, Udoh and Akpan - and it was the Giwa FC striker who edged the others to claim the LBA for April after he scored two of his three goals at Rangers and Lobi Stars. His goals also helped his team to finish the month under review without a loss.


Though Udoh scored three goals, he fell just short of claiming the gong while Bayelsa United goalkeeper Akpan also had a big shout with three clean sheets against Gabros FC, Sharks and FC Taraba.


Bulus and Shuaibu will receive their awards later in May.

FIFA have sent the Czech Football Association a letter in which they slammed a transfer ban on Banik Ostrava as a result of outstanding dues to 36 Lion Football Club. The ban will only be lifted when Banik pay the outstanding dues they owe the Lagos based club for the transfer of Tijani Muhamed on 1st July 2023. The letter received didn’t specify the number of transfer windows that Banik will be banned from, but only clarified that it is due to the former Flying Eagles striker deal with the Czech Republic top flight team. Muhamed, 23, is a product of 36 Lion. He joined Slavia Praha from Banik during last summer's transfer window for €1.26m according to Transfermkt.com. The transfer fee should have been paid over several installments; however, Banik failed to meet the deadlines as regards the fee meant for 36 Lion.  Muhamed started his professional career at Banik after joining from 36 Lion ahead of the 2018/19 season. He enjoyed loan spells at Trnava, Fotbal Trinec and
