NPFL: Tornadoes chief praises players’ determination in draw with Bendel Insurance

Niger Tornadoes chairman, Ibrahim Dada has praised his players for their massive effort in the 1-1 against Bendel Insurance last weekend.

The Ikon Allah Boys played the majority of the game with 10 men but still managed to maintain their unbeaten streak.

“Playing with a man down and securing a draw is commendable. I’m proud of your resilience,” Dada told the players after visiting them in training on Tuesday.

“In fact, it is you who saw the result as a draw, to me it was a win and I therefore pledge a token of appreciation and I’ll pay a match bonus for the draw.

“Normally, we pay bonuses for away draws, wins and home wins as a reward but for the game against Bendel Insurance I’m paying you a full match bonus.”

Tornadoes will be up against Heartland in a matchday five encounter this weekend.
