Nigerian billionaire, richest man in Africa and business mogul, Aliko Dangote has rewarded the Super Eagles of Nigeria with the sum of N130 million for reaching the finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa. hmmm...?
And this offer was made to the national team, Super Eagles for getting to the finals of AFCON 2013 in they stroked the Malian national team 4-1.
A statement from Dangote Group explained that the gesture is part of Dangote Group’s corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) to promote and encourage sports development in Nigeria. The donation is to acknowledge the exploits of the national team at the AFCON and stimulate them to bring home the coveted trophy.
Sports minister Mallam Bolaji Abudllahi speaking on the donation said:
“Dangote
has always demonstrated commitment to Government and people of Nigeria.
We are happy over the gesture shown to the players and the coaching
crew. It is an example for other well-meaning Nigerians to follow.”
Football enthusiasts are commending Aliko Dangote on the gesture
describing it as a necessary tonic that would inspire the Super Eagles
to win the final match on Sunday February 10 against the Stallions of
Burkina Faso.
So, apparently this money is just getting to the finals abi...? how much will they receive in general if they win the trophy?
