Enugu State Governor, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, has rewarded players and officials of Rangers International F.C. with a generous package worth ₦150 million and plots of land following the club's remarkable Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title-winning campaign.
The governor announced a cash reward of ₦100 million for the players, with each member of the title-winning squad also receiving a plot of land in recognition of their contribution to Rangers' historic achievement.
As part of the package, the beneficiaries are expected to receive their Certificates of Occupancy (CofO) from next week, further underscoring the state government's commitment to appreciating sporting excellence.
The club's technical crew was equally celebrated, receiving ₦50 million for steering the Flying Antelopes to league glory.
Governor Mbah described the rewards as a token of appreciation for the team's hard work, resilience, and dedication throughout the season, which culminated in Rangers securing a record-extending ninth Nigerian league title.
The gesture has drawn commendation from stakeholders within the Nigerian football community, who view it as a positive step towards enhancing player welfare and encouraging greater professionalism in the domestic league.
Rangers International's latest triumph reinforces the club's status as one of Nigeria's most successful football institutions, with the state government pledging continued support for sports development and excellence.
The substantial motivation from the state government establishes an excellent standard for supporting domestic football development across the country. By securing both financial rewards and landed property, the team enters the off-season with elevated morale and strong stability. The Flying Antelopes will aim to leverage this immense support as they prepare to represent the nation in upcoming continental assignments.
