Football activities have been frozen since the widespread of the COVID-19 pandemic and it has affected clubs worldwide.

Clubs now find it difficult to meet their financial obligations. The payment of monthly salaries of players and club officials have become a problem for many clubs.

The situation forced many clubs including European giants to slash salaries of players because no income were being received from their usual activities.

The situation has not been different in the West African country. Most clubs have not paid players for more than three months.

Nuhu Seidu is a Ghanaian player, who last played for Ghana Premier League side Accra Great Olympics before the top-flight was suspended on March 15, 2020.

The 20-year-old who resides in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region now drives ‘Pragyia’ to make a living; a gesture which has been commended by many.

Speaking to Kumasi-based Opemsuo Radio, Nuhu disclosed that he has had to drive in order to earn money to cater for himself.

“I’m a professional player and because there’s no football I decided to work for a living.

“I don’t feel shy because I know what is good for me. I cannot beg for money and if I’m to do, how much would I get?

” I’ve been seeing some players but it doesn’t bother me. I am happy with it and I know by the time football returns I’ll be ok.”

The good of Ghana have extended the ban on social gatherings until July 31,2020. This is to reduce fresh COVID-19 pandemic cases.
