The Interim Management Committee ( IMC) has stated why the strategic partners of Nigeria Premier Football League, GTI has not paid the the appearance fee of Five Million naira into some of the participating teams, BSNSports.com.ng reports

GTI according to IMC stated that failure of clubs to submit their account is the reason why some clubs have not received the sum.

Speaking with BSN Sports, the Chief Operating Officer of Interim Management Committee, IMC, Davidson Owumi while clearing the air on why some clubs have not received their money said the reputable company failed to pay into personal account of some Chairmen of the clubs who insisted on receiving the money on behalf of the clubs. 

"GTI is a reputable company that keeps its promise. If you recall, after the Super 4 that heralded the league, we made sure that participating funds were paid into the four clubs accounts. When we discovered that 3SC was claiming to have received N50m instead N100m, we invited them to Abuja and paid them their N100m to kill such negative news.

As for the payment of N5m for each of the six participating teams in the Super 6 Playoffs. Some of the Chairmen of the clubs submitted their personal account and they (GTI) refused to pay into the account.

Even this morning, they requested for their clubs' accounts but they have not sent it til now."
