Gov Uzodinma rewards Heartland N100m for winning NNL title

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has shown his appreciation for Heartland Football Club’s remarkable achievement by gifting the players a sum of N100 million for winning the 2022/23 Nigeria National League (NNL) title. The Naze Millionaires showcased their football prowess in the NNL Super Eight playoffs, where they emerged victorious by defeating Kano Pillars 2-0 in the final.

The generous reward is a testament to the team’s impressive performance throughout the entire season. Heartland’s unbeaten run in the campaign showcased their consistency and determination, making them worthy champions of the NNL.

The victory in the NNL Super Eight playoffs also brought about another significant milestone for Heartland, as they earned promotion back to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). This marks a triumphant return for the Owerri-based club to the top-tier league in Nigerian football.

Heartland’s successful campaign in the NNL showcases their potential and the hard work put in by the players, coaching staff, and management. As a five-time winner of the NPFL, the club has a rich history and a strong tradition of excellence in Nigerian football.

Governor Hope Uzodinma’s gesture not only acknowledges the team’s achievements but also serves as motivation for the players to continue their outstanding performances in the upcoming NPFL season. The financial boost will undoubtedly be beneficial for the club as they prepare to compete at the highest level of Nigerian football.
