Too late in the day for Enugu government and Rangers?

Each Enugu Rangers player will get a car and a plot of land if they beat Sharks and are crowned Nigerian champions on Super Friday.

  

Rangers are third on the NPL table with 61 points but will be crowned champions on the final day of the season on Friday, if leaders Kano Pillars and Lobi Stars both lose their final games away to Sunshine Stars and Kaduna United respectively.

  

The special adviser to Enugu State Governor, Victor  Atuonwu, announced this package to the club management as they prepare to host Sharks in their last match of the 2011/2012 Nigeria Premier League season at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu on Friday.

  

Atuonwu said Governor Sullivan Chime is very much supportive of the team’s quest to lift the championship and go on to represent  the country in next year’s CAF Champions League.

  

According to him, government has not reneged on its promises of paying the players 100 per cent sign-on fees for the 2011/2012, which were fully paid by Tuesday, while other entitlements including outstanding match bonuses will be paid before the last match on Friday.

  

He said state government has vowed not to leave any stone unturned in its quest to assist Rangers win the trophy they last won 28 years ago.

  

Chairman of the Rangers board Festus Onuh also promised mouth- watering cash rewards when Rangers win the league on Friday.

  

Onu said all board members will be at the stadium to cheer Rangers to victory and that no gate fees will be paid by the fans.
