December 27, (THEWILL) – In the lead-up to the kickoff of the 2022/2023 Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), Gbenga Elegbeleye, the chairman of the League’s Interim Management Committee (IMC), has declared that the eventual winners will get a jumbo prize of N100 million.

The ex-Nigeria Sports Commission’s (NSC) Director General made this public while explaining the specifics of the upcoming season, taking a swipe at the now-disbanded League Management Company (LMC), which the IMC replaced.

He said: “They promised to give last season’s winner (Rivers Unit­ed) N50 million, which they are yet to pay till now. We don’t want to promise what we cannot do, the win­ner of the 2022/2023 season will get N100 million as a cash prize.”
