The Bayelsa state government has announced a new package of match-winning bonuses and allowances for players and officials of its premier league side, Bayelsa United, as the 2022 Nigerian league season heats up.
Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo disclosed this at a special dinner to motivate the players, technical crew, and coaching staff of the team, at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Onopa, Yenagoa, on Saturday.
A statement by Mr Ewhrudjakpo’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, quoted him as saying that the team would receive N1.5 million for every league game won in the current season; while each goal-scorer is to go home with N200, 000.
