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.”
