The League Management Company (LMC) has released about N208million to the 20 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs for the current league season.<\/p>\n

The amount represents what is due to the clubs as sponsorship earning for the season. Chairman of the Kwara United FC of Ilorin, Mr. Bamidele Aluko, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the LMC had released N10.4million to each of the 20 premier league clubs in the country.<\/p>\n

Aluko said the money was released to them before Monday\u2019s N25million cheque presentation to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja by the LMC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an agreement that whatever the LMC makes from Globacom, they will give NFA five per cent. They have given the clubs their own N10.4m each, so it is the turn of the NFA to take its own on Monday, and we can\u2019t say no to it,\u201d Aluko disclosed.<\/p>\n

He said the LMC appeared to be living up to the clubs\u2019 expectation, but added that they (clubs) would not hesitate to act accordingly if they (LMC) go contrary to any of their agreement. \u201cBy principle if the LMC agrees to work the way we want them to, we will have no other choice than to support them.<\/p>\n

From what we can see, they have the ability to get more money for the league and if what they do is what we have in mind it means there won\u2019t be problem. \u201cChairman of the LMC, Nduka Irabor, said they are the messengers of club owners and that they are not working alone.<\/p>\n

He also said that they are working in line with the yearnings and aspirations of NPFL clubs.\u201d Globacom had in March sealed the sponsorship rights of the NPFL, after confirming a N550 million deal with the LMC for the 2012\/2013 league season.<\/p>\n
