Edo State deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, has advised the players of the state’s female team,who were placed on equal pay alongside their male counterparts, Bendel Insurance.
Some players of Edo Queens get as much as N350, 000 as monthly salary in addition to other financial incentives like match bonuses. It is the biggest financial package for female players in Nigeria.
However, Shaibu said that Edo Queens must show off what they are payed for and must be serious.
“Edo State is the first to break the barrier in making sure that both male and female footballers get equal monthly salary,” Shaibu told journalists after unveiling a new set of jersey for both Edo Queens and Bendel Insurance for the 2022/2023 league season.
But the huge monthly pay for Edo Queens is performance-driven. In other for Any player to be in that category of N350,000 monthly salary must be serious and work harder to remain in that category.
If your performance drops, your monthly wages will drop as well. It also means that any player that performs well,their salary will be increased too.
