Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, has secured the sum of N200 million for the Super Eagles of Nigeria playing at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023.
Enoh commended the enthusiasm of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and all members of the Forum for the swift action taken immediately after he spoke with the Forum Chairman on the need for the Progressive Governors to motivate the team ahead of the semi-finals match against the South Africans.
According to the minister, the complete sum of N200 million has already been redeemed to the players by the Progressive Governors’ Forum.
“I want to thank the Progressive Governors’ Forum under the leadership of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state for galvanizing and redeeming the sum of two hundred million Naira only to the Super Eagles of Nigeria who are currently in Cote D’Ivoire for AFCON 2023.
“The Super Eagles have shown immense commitment and tenacity through every match. This shows that they are on the path to conquering the continent again and bringing home the coveted Cup of Nations. Therefore, we must rally support for them because upon their shoulders lie the enormous responsibility to make Nigeria our great Nation proud.”
The Super Eagles will in a few hours take on Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the first semi-final of the ongoing AFCON in Ivory Coast.
