and his players have commended the management of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Football Club of Lagos for providing adequate welfare packages.
Prior to the Match Day 6 clash against El-Kanemi Warriors football club of Maiduguri, the management of the Lagos-based Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side put smiles on the faces of their coaches and players as they paid salaries and match bounses to the players and coaches including, other welfare packages.
Coach, Illechkwu, team captain, Kenedium Nelson and former Nigeria under 20 star, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi as they paid, thanked the management as they promised to continue with their good welfare package.
“Our management is really trying, it’s one of the best in the league, despite the financial hardship in the country, they still find a way to pay our salaries and match bonuses up to date, we will not let them down, we shall continue to put in our best to get the required results.”
“We the players are happy with what our management has done, they have shown to us that we are very important because it’s not easy to feed over 50 players everyday and also pay them their salaries as at when due in a period when Nigeria is facing economy difficulties, so I want to say a big thank you to them.’’
