President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, on Wednesday July 31, 2019 redeemed his financial pledge to the Super Eagles for their participation in the recent Africa Cup of Nations that held in Egypt.
It would be recalled that Amaju Pinnick, President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had revealed during the just concluded African Cup of Nations that Dangote, Africa’s richest man, promised $50,000 for every goal scored during the team’s semi-final match against Algeria, while Femi Otedola promised to pay $25,000 per goal for the same match.
Represented by the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), Mr. Olakunle Alake, at the cheque presentation ceremony, Dangote promised to remain steadfast in his unflinching support for sports development in Nigeria.
Among the team from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) present at the presentation included Super Eagles Equipment Manager, Chidi Ngoka, Super Eagles Team Administrator, Dayo Achor Enebi and Super Eagles International, John Ogu.
