Rivers State
Sports Commissioner, Honourable Boma Iyaye will reward players of Rivers United
FC with the sum of N1million if they record their first road win of the season
on Sunday.
United
travel to Lokoja where they will face Niger Tornadoes at the Confluence Stadium
as the Nigeria Professional Football League enters match day six this weekend.
Honourable
Iyaye says the financial incentive represents “good motivation” which should
spur the lads to “a handsome win” on Sunday.
“The people
of Rivers State love Rivers United and we want the club to well in all
competitions this season. We are yearning for that first away victory in the
NPFL which we believe will be the first of many to come. This move represents
good motivation for the players and technical crew and we believe the result on
Sunday will be favourable. If the boys get a draw against Tornadoes, they will
be rewarded with N250, 000. 00 (two hundred and fifty thousand naira).
“I also want
to use this medium to announce that the sponsors of the club have paid all
winning bonuses to all players and we also strictly adhere to the ‘enhanced
salary structure’ in line with regulations of the League Management Company
(LMC),” Iyaye told Rivers United media.
Rivers
United currently occupy sixth place in the NPFL standings with nine points from
a possible 15.
