The League Management Company (LMC), has confirmed they have paid out N75m to all the 20 clubs, that participated in the 2013/2014 Nigeria Professional Football League season.
Salihu Abubakar, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the LMC, said the N75m was set aside for Merit Award. The amount is a 50% increase from the previous season, where clubs shared a sum of N50m.
Each club received its share based on where they finished on the league table.
“Payment to the clubs was approved by the LMC Management and we have made the remittance to the clubs’ bank accounts based on their standing on the league table.
“League champions Kano Pillars earning the highest amount of N15m while the lowest earning of N1.5m was by relegated Nembe City.”
Abubakar also added that the introduction of television coverage, was to encourage clubs attract fans to the stadiums, so gains can be made from live broadcasts.
He added: “The television broadcast incentive seeks to support clubs increase match attendance through fan activation programs that will create the right football spectacle on live broadcast match days.
“It was also meant to discourage the hostile reception to broadcast partners by the home teams.”
