Speaking about reports on the football players not getting their monthly salaries for the last two months, the press secretary said, "This is due to [former BFF president Kazi] Salahuddin. We hope the issue will be solved shortly."
"Discussions are ongoing with the BCB and BFF regarding the pay disparity between women and men teams," he added.
Addressing the recent protest by students of the Dhaka University-affiliated colleges, Shafiqul said the representatives of seven colleges held a meeting with the sports adviser and the education adviser.
"The meeting decided that for the operation of the seven colleges, a place will be fixed within Dhaka University where their administrative work can be done. They will have separate registrars and dedicated officers. This entire matter will be done in coordination with UGC and Dhaka University," he said.
Speaking about the government's decision on allowing BCS candidates to participate a maximum of four times in exams, he said the matter was discussed and debated in the advisory council. This decision has been taken from there.
