The sample for the study consisted of 344 sports personnel and athletes. questionnaire was the main instrument used to elicit information from the respondents. The data collected was analysed using frequency count, percentages table and chi-square (x2 ) analysis tested at .05 level of significance with the aid of SPSS Version 21. The findings revealed that scholarship was the most preferred incentive by the athletes as majority of the athletes were students of different levels. Also promotion was the most preferred incentive by the sports personnel. The study revealed that lack of scholarship for athletes and lack of promotion for sports personnel have no significant influence on the performance of Cross River State athletes at National Sports Festival. It was recommended among others that incentives and award schemed may be reviewed to actually introduce material incentive as part of honouring our heroes such as scholarship etc. Top management should articulate and authenticate a welfare package in order to be able to meet organizational obligations.
