Governor, Commissioner Shower Cash Rewards On Nasarawa United For Beating Plateau United 

Nasarawa United players and officials have received the sum of Three million and five hundred thousand naira from the State governor and the Commissioner for Sports, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

This according to the donors is to further encourage the team to win more games so as to escape dropping into the lower league.

This was made known after their 3-2 victory over Plateau United when Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State rewarded the State-owned Nasarawa United with the sum of Two Million, and Five Hundred Thousand Naira(N2,5000,000.00) for beating Plateau United on Sunday evening in Lafia.

The Governor made the announcement shortly after the full-time whistle via the Club's official WhatsApp platform where he follows the live text commentary on match-days.

Part of the Governor's message on the WhatsApp's platform reads: "Great game, guys!. Clean and authoritative win!!

"N2.5 million from me to the team. Congratulations, guys!!!"

In the same vein, the State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Hon. Kwanta Yakubu, rewarded the team with the sum of One Million Naira for their feat against their next door neighbours, Plateau United, on NPFL match-day 33.

The Commissioner handed over the personal cash gift to the team during the Half-Time session of the game, charging them to continue to show commitment and resilience to escape the drop until the final day of the league season.

He promised to sustain such benevolence in each of the team's remaining games.

The 3-2 victory not only secures bragging rights for the Solid Miners but also provides a vital boost in the battle against the drop zone as they are now 14th on the table with 42 points, with their beaten opponents, Plateau United, sharing the same points but only ahead on goals' difference.

The Solid Miners will next face Bendel Insurance in Benin City, Edo State, on match-day 34. But before then, they will shift focus to the President Federation's Cup Round of 16 clash against fellow Premiership side, Bayelsa United, on Wednesday, 16th April, 2025, at the Prince Abubakar Audu University Stadium, Anyigba, Kogi State.
