Mabawonku noted that “we maintained this framework for all draws except for the sixth draw in Akure where we disbursed a total of N8 million. The outstanding N1 million from the Akure draw is how we have arrived at N10 million for the Grand Finale happening today.

“While the Grand Finale attests to the impactful journey that we have traversed through the past 10 months, it also marks the end of the season.”
