In a major morale boost, Chuwuemeka announced that all outstanding players' bonuses and salaries had been approved and would be disbursed by Monday morning.

“His Excellency has assured you that he is fully behind you. All bonuses and salaries have been approved and by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, you will receive them. This is a mandate – not just to beat Kun Khalifa, but to beat them convincingly.”

Malam Thuraya echoed the call for total commitment from the players, stressing that Saturday’s game is pivotal to the future of the club.
