Players and officials of former Nigeria Premier League champions, Dolphins FC, will from Monday begin to get match bonuses for their efforts on the continent last season.
The Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Fred Igwe, said on Sunday that it would have taken a while to get the money out if he had applied for funds so he had to look inwards to generate cash for the purpose.
Igwe said: “You must be aware that the bonuses that caused uproar at Sharks have been paid and all bonuses for the League and FA Cup.
“We will commence payment for the continental match bonuses for Dolphins tomorrow (Monday) and hope to complete it by the end of the week.”
He added that this will be a good motivational factor ahead of the new season even though it was money owed from last year.
“Motivation is a continuous thing for us in the state and we will ensure we do what we have to do. Hopefully, by the end of the week all players would have been paid,” Igwe said.
