Rangers international FC of Enugu have unveiled a multi-million naira insurance package as compensation for the family of late Ifeanyi George.
The insurance package, according to a statement by the club, was graciously approved by the Enugu State Government.
The GM/CEO of the former league champions, Prince Davidson Owumi, applauded the pro-active stance of the Enugu State Government to have its players and officials insured against injuries and deaths.
Owumi said: “The insurance brokers, Premier Brokers Ltd, have been informed about the untimely death of our player, Ifeanyi George, who died in a ghastly motor accident, Sunday, March 22, 2020 along Asaba-Benin Express road and they have commenced the process to have the life insurance compensation process activated so as to have the family of Ifeanyi George fully compensated.
“What we have here in Rangers International F.C is the solid display of pro-activeness on the part of Enugu state government under H.E, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who graciously approved the insurance policy for all players and officials of the club on request by the management. We sincerely appreciate our sports loving governor and number one supporter for this gesture that comes handy in this time of great need.”
Recall that the attacking sensation, who joined the ‘Flying Antelopes’ fold in 2016 from Enyimba International of Aba, last played for Rangers against Adamawa United.
He was substituted in the 42nd minute due to an injury before he met his untimely death in an auto crash near Abudu, Edo State on his way to Lagos for the 10-day break sanctioned by the club due the the suspension of all football activities in the country.
