“The governor has approved all the monies we proposed to him yesterday (Thursday) he signed about N220 million for the sign on fees and other things.
“The approval is for all the players, coaches, technical officials, among others.
“This will serve as a big motivation for the players who are already in Kano for our match against El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri,’’ Ozor said.
