The club’s forward Chijoke Akuneto also emerged top scorer with 19 goals.
Aside from the monetary reward, the players and their officials will also embark on a two-week training tour in Madrid, Spain before the start of the 2022/23 season.
Wike also promised the players $40,000 if they make it to the group phase of next season’s CAF Champions League.
