Nigeria Premier League Players should earn N1M minimum - Fashola

Governor of Lagos State Mr  Babatunde Fashola has said if given the mandate, he will suggest as much as N1million minimum wage for local league players.

Fashola revealed his ambitious wish for the local stars while hosting the victorious Super Eagles players at his office in the Ikeja, Lagos.

According to the widely touted sports loving governor, the league if properly run and floated on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange,   will be able to generate more than enough money to cater for such payment.

“To our players in the local league I wish I can write a minimum wage for you, if you ask me I don’t think any player that plays professional football in our league should earn less than N1m a month minimum,” Fashola said.
