The staff of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Board has heaped praises on the chairman of the board, Gbenga Elegbeleye, for enhancing their packages.
It will be recalled that in October 2023, the chairman of the NPFL Board, Hon. Elegbeleye, had promised an upward review of the take-home packages of the staff by January 2024. This promise was again reaffirmed at the NPFL Board and Staff Retreat in Abuja late last year.
Noting the implementation of the enhanced salary scheme in their January salary, a number of the staff have been sending messages of appreciation to the chairman for keeping to his words.
One of the messages read, “Chairman sir, I want to use this opportunity of valentine’s day to say a big thank you to you, for you have proven to the whole staff of the NPFL that you are a man of your words.
“The whole staff received their January salary with great joy, as you fulfilled the promise made in October last year that you will increase their pay by January 2024.
“This is the first time in 12 years we will be having a raise, and you did after just one year.”
The message concluded with a pledge to uphold the tenets of integrity and hard work while pushing for a better and prosperous NPFL under his administration.
Sources at the MKO Abiola office of the NPFL disclosed that following the transition of the NPFL Interim Management Committee to a substantive board, staff salaries have become regular.
Elegbeleye had at the retreat assured the staff that they would enjoy enhanced welfare package just as he charged them to remain committed to their assigned responsibilities.
