It was all joy at the Super Eagles’ camp inside Hotel la Rabidou in Garoua, Wednesday as the Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele and business moguls: Femi Otedola and Aliko Dangote stormed the venue.

The trio visited the team’s camp at lunchtime alongside the president of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pelvin Pinnick.

Otedola and Dangote rained dollars on the Super Eagles following their impressive performance at the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Emefiele briefed the players and the technical crew on the objectives of the Coalition Against Covid-19.

The coalition is a private sector-led organization in Nigeria established to assist government in combating the Coronavirus disease in the country.

It would be recalled that Otedola and Dangote also rained dollars on the Super Eagles during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Austine Eguavoen’s side won all their three group D games to qualify for round of 16 in style at the 2021 AFCON finals in Cameroon.
