The chairman
of Wikki Tourists FC Bauchi, Isa Matori has confirmed that the executive
Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, has approved and
directed the immediate release and payment of the 2014 /2015 outstanding match
bonuses of players and officials of the team.
Matori made
the revelation through the media manager of the club, Usman Abbas Shehu.
According to
him, the gesture was a positive way to motivate, encourage and appreciate the
team for their outstanding performance last season where the team finished fourth
on the league table.
SportingLife
gathered that the outstanding 10 match bonuses was paid on Friday before the
team departed for Katsina for their
first Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game against El-Kanemi
Warriors at the Karkanda Stadium, Katsina.
“His
Excellency M.A Abubakar is determined and willing to invest much in the team as
long as the players will reciprocate the gesture by giving good results both
home and away,” Matori was quoted as saying.
The
chairman, therefore, challenged the technical crew and the players to live up
to expectations by justifying the confidence reposed on them by the governor
and the sports loving people of Bauchi State.
“I want to
use this opportunity on behalf of the team to express and appreciate the good
government of the state for bankrolling the 10 outstanding match bonuses. This
will surely motivate the team to start the new season in good note,” he said.
Matori
further explained that the government is also working on some other issues of
the management with a view to solving them soon.
