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

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.
