Sen. John Owan Enoh, Minister of Sports Development, has obtained N200 million for the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of their semi-final game at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
Diana-Mary Nsan, the Minister’s Special Adviser on Media, stated in a statement on Wednesday that the contribution came from the Progressive Governors’ Forum’s leadership.
The minister praised Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma and the Forum’s Chairman, as well as all members, for their prompt response after he stressed the need of motivating the players ahead of their semifinal match.
Enoh said that the Forum has already redeemed the N200m for the participants.
“I want to thank the Progressive Governors’ Forum under the leadership of Uzodimma of Imo for galvanising and redeeming the sum of N200 million to the Super Eagles.
“The Super Eagles have shown immense commitment and tenacity through every match, this shows that they are on the path to conquer the continent again and bring 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,” Enoh said.
