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.”
