Enyimba pocket N30m

Enyimba have pocketed the sum of 30 million Naira (about $150,000) for winning this year’s Nigeria league. Enyimba skipper Chinedu Udoji was at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos yesterday to receive a dummy cheque of the prize money from Nigeria league boss Shehu Dikko.

 It is the highest amount ever paid a Nigeria league champion. Enyimba topped the 20-team championship after they recorded 70 points from 38 matches.

They will represent Nigeria in next year’s CAF Champions League alongside runners-up Warri Wolves, who finished their campaign four points behind Enyimba.
