In his own comment, Chairman Technical and Disciplinary Committee, Olojo-Kosoko Olanrewaju disclosed that this season campaign would be supported by sports manufacturing company and reinstated that violators of its rules and regulations would face the music.
"We want our league to remain the best and as such we want to maintain the standards we have already set.
"Our reputation is at stake, so to this end, we don't want to condone any act of indiscipline, violence and hooliganism.
