Aliko Dangote ready to
redeem $1million promise to Super Eagles…
Billionaire
business man Aliko Dangote says he is ready to redeem his promise of awarding
$1m to the Super Eagles for winning the 2013 African Cup of Nations last year
in South Africa. He said this a few days after goal keeper and Super Eagles
vice-captain Vincent Enyeama begged him and others who pledged various things
to the team to fulfill their promises.
"We
understand the busy schedule of Alhaji Dangote, we are just asking his aides to
help remind him of the promise to us. It’s just a reminder to patriots who are
very busy and may not have been prompted after they made their pledges, because
the players are determined to bring more honours to fatherland at the
forthcoming World Cup” Enyeama said
Speaking
with BBC Sports, Dangote said the only reason he hasn't redeemed his promise
was because nobody from the team or NFF had contacted him
"We’ve
been waiting for Nigerian officials to collect the money but nobody has written
to us. We will write to them, asking for the account numbers of the players,
then we’ll make the transfer immediately.”
