The management of El-Kanemi Warriors paid its players their February salaries immediately the team returned from Umuahia on Friday after their week two league game against Abia Warriors.

The match ended 2-1 in favour of Abia Warriors at the Umuahia Township stadium on Wednesday.

According to the team' media manager, Obaseki Anthony, it is part of management plans to make sure that players' salaries are pay on 24th or 25th of every month.

"The management is putting everything in place to make sure the players’ welfare is well taken care of," Obaseki said.

The players and officials will arrive in Makurdi on Monday ahead of their match day four of the Nigeria Premier League on Wednesday against Lobi Stars.

El-Kanemi Warriors match day three league game over the weekend was postponed due to Akwa United CAF Confederation Cup competition.

Obaseki said the team has put their back-to-back defeat behind them and ready to return to winning ways, starting with the game against Lobi Stars on Wednesday.

"We have put our two matches lost behind us and thank God that we have a good coach that will lead us to the promise land. Coach Ladan Bosso is a sound coach and our two games so far showed that we can make it. The league is still young as our coach as earlier said. And it is premature to right off any team now," he added.

"It is a new team and I believe from this match on Wednesday you will see new El-Kanemi Warriors in action.  We are going to Makurdi as a wounded lion and you know what that means, the players know how important this match mean to us and our fans in Makurdi will be there to give us more support on Wednesday. It is going be a tough match," Obaseki declared.
