According to a release by media officer of the former NPFL champions, Albert Yakup,
the players and the technical crew will not receive their full pay until the fortunes of the club improve.

who made the management position known to the team, said the decision became necessary in view of the manner of the home loss on Matchday-10 against visiting side Kada City which is unacceptable to the government and people of Plateau State.

Plateau United will travel to Umuahia to play against Abia Warriors in a matchday-11 encounter next week Wednesday.
