Hours afer announcing that the mothers of late Yekini and Okwaraji will be on a monthly pay roll, the Nigerian Football Federation have gone a step further to share covid-19 palliative to club sides in Abuja.
Earlier the NFF announced that the mothers of Late Rashidi Yekini and late Sam Okwaraji will be on a monthly pay roll of 30,000.
14 clubs in the Abuja metropolis were beneficial of the palliatives which included lots of food items.
NNL, NLO and academy cadre clubs liike Supreme Court FC, EFCC FC, Abuja Female United, FOSLA FC, Bimo Sporting Club, Wazobia FC, Setraco FC, Goodland FC, Fire Service FC, NYSC FC, FWC Champion Club, Abees Academy, Casmat Academy and WACO Academy were among the recipients of the palliatives.
Addressing the representatives of the fourteen clubs, NFF general-secretary, Mohamed Sanusi noted that the palliative is an initiative of the federation.
“This package is the initiative of the NFF to, in its little way, support some stakeholder-clubs and communities within the FCT as a result of the COVID-19.
This did not come from the money that FIFA is sending to NFF and its Member Associations. When that money comes, it will come with clear instructions on how it should be spent, though we have already got the hint that it will be principally on operations of the Federation.”
