Rivers United Players Cash Out Big as Gov. Wike Reward each Player with $20,000

By Emmanuel Oladele - Rivers United Players are now Millionaires following a whopping cash reward from River State Governor Barrister Nyesom Wike. The Portharcourt based team won the 2021/22 season title of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and have been rewarded with a sum of $20,000 each (around N8.6M).

The Governor who was also present at the Trophy presentation ceremony on Sunday promised to reward each of the players with $40,000 (around N17.2M) if they get to the group stage of the next CAF Champions League.

Governor Neyson Wike is one the Governors that has so much contributed to the State football team in recent years, he's an example other State Governors should emulate when it comes to Sports.

Congratulations Rivers United Football Club.
