Respite has come the way of Eyimba players and coaching staff as Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has promised to clear their salaries and allowances .
The players and the coaches have not received monthly stipends for the past four months.
Otti made the announcement at the reception organised for the team for winning the 2022/23 Nigeria Premier League title on the night of Thursday, 29 June, 2023 at the Government House In Umuahia.
The state number one citizen, however, failed to announce a monetary gift for the team.
Otti promised to compensate the team for their successful campaign in the NPFL in due course.
Enyimba will compete in the Naija Super 8 playoffs in Lagos next week.
