VOICE AIR MEDIA, News Update

SPORTS minister John Enoh has revealed that the Super Eagles of Nigeria have been given a gift of N200 million by the country’s governors.

The Super Eagles are currently in Cote d’Ivoire for the AFCON 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and they face South Africa in the semi-finals this evening in Bouake.

“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,” Enoh wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, today.

“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 lies the enormous responsibility to make Nigeria our great Nation proud.

“Once again I thank the Progressive Governors’ Forum for the motivation given to the players.”

The Super Eagles are on a quest for their fourth AFCON title and their first in 11 years having previously won the trophy in 1980 (then as Green Eagles) on home soil, 1994 in Tunisia and 2013 in South Africa.
