Eunisell Chemicals, a leading global
chemical and specialty fluid management company, has raised the bar in
front-of-shirt sponsorship, in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)
after extending its deal with Rivers United FC.
For the first time in the history
of the NPFL, Eunisell becomes the first brand to enter the third year of a
front-of-shirt deal and also makes history as the first to splash a bonus of N10
million on a Nigerian football club.
Group Managing Director of
Eunisell, Mr. Chika Ikenga, said the company is extending its sponsorship to be
part of the club’s history.
“We are encouraged by the good
performance of Rivers United and in keeping with our promise to stay with the
club whether they fall or rise. We have renewed our shirt sponsorship agreement
with them irrespective of the economic situation in Nigeria”, he said.
The front-of-shirt sponsorship by the chemical
firm remains undisclosed, according to officials of Eunisell.
However, Ikenga revealed that the
N10million bonus to Rivers United is in recognition of their impressive outing
as NPFL runner-up last season and for emerging Super Four pre-season champions,
in less than a year into their formation.
Responding, General Manager of
Rivers United, Chief Okey Kpalukwu, promised that the club will do more in the
new season.
“We are going to win the NPFL and
do well in the continent”, he assured.
Eunisell started their
front-of-shirt sponsorship contract with Sharks in 2015 and continued with
Rivers United, in 2016, following the merger of Sharks and Dolphins by the
Rivers State Government.
