The NPFL club took to its Twitter page on Monday to announce the new development.

“Plateau United Football Club has placed the entire team on half salary following their poor start to the NPFL after going down 2-nil to Kwara United in Jos,” it wrote.

“The General Manager of the Club, Pius Henwan gave the directive while addressing players and coaches of the team.”

The 2019/20 NPFL league champions were knocked-out by Simba FC of Tanzania in the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League on December 5.
