The battle for the 2014 LBA Player of the season is among the quartet of Emem Eduok (Dolphins), Mfon Udoh (Enyimba), Peter Ebimobowei (Bayelsa United) and Kingsley Bobby Sokari (Enyimba).
The LBA sponsor, a sports bètting company has offered a car to the best player as part of encouraging talents in the country’s top flight league.
Also in the NPFL/ Glo Premier League best player’s award, the LBA will reward top actors in 16 categories when the ceremony comes up at the Sheraton Hotels and Towers, Lagos on December 15, 2014.
According to the 1960BET General Manager, Seun Ojikutu, “We view this partnership as one that will blossom into a very big relationship between 1960BET and the League Bloggers Awards (LBA).
“ As an organisation we are always open to helping in the development of sports in the country and that is why we have decided to go into this sponsorship agreement. “For the best player of the awards we will give out a KIA car as we believe it is a way to encourage other young people in the country to channel their energy positively as there is always reward for excellence in every chosen career, including football and other sports,
” Ojikutu said. LBA CEO, Ojeikere Aikhoje, also believes that the car prize from the sports betting company will only spur on more players from the top division to put in their best in the coming season.
“The recently-concluded season is one of the best we have witnessed in years. Thanks to the players, coaches, clubs and the governing body of the league, the League Management Company (LMC).
“This car prize from 1960BET is befitting for the LBA Player of the Season, and will go a mile in helping to cement the relationship between the LBA and 1960BET,”
Aikhoje said. The LBA Ambassador, Victor Ezeji, also thumbed up the sports bètting firm for its gesture to give out a car prize to the best player of the past season in the Glo Premier League.
“It’s good news for the league, and it is only appropriate after a long, hard season to recognise the best player this way,” said Ezeji.
It would be recalled Rabiu Ali of Kano Pillars won the LBA Player of the Season in 2012/2014 season.
