The Super Eagles of Nigeria will be looking to make it two wins in a row, having defeated Liberia 2-0 in their first game in Lagos a few days ago in the FIFA 2022 world cup qualifiers.
Also, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have been promised the sum of N20million if they win the match, by the Chairman of Air Peace airline, Barrister Allen Onyema whose company is the official sponsor of the Nigeria National football teams.
Barrister Allen Onyema whose company Air Peace airline sealed a partnership agreement with NFF to be the Official Airline Sponsor of Nigerian National Teams last week Wednesday, had made the pledge while flying the players to Cape Verde ahead of the game today.
At a short but impressive ceremony held at the Marriott Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos last week, Pinnick and Chairman of Air Peace airline, Barrister Allen Onyema dwelt on the strength inherent in Nigeria’s diversity, and the opportunities and possibilities flowing in a country of 200 million people with 378 different nationalities, and football as the strongest unifying force.
“Air Peace epitomizes unity, patriotism, humanity and selflessness. Ourselves at the NFF have followed not only the meteoric rise of the company but its patriotic fervour and sense of nationalism. It is an organization that believes firmly in the Nigeria project, just as we do.
“This contract covers all the National Teams, from the Super Eagles to the junior teams. Let me say it here that the Super Eagles will be flying to Cape Verde on Monday for their FIFA World Cup qualifier in the latest brand of aircraft just acquired by Air Peace. The NFF is happy to partner with this highly responsive organization that has Nigeria at the heart of everything it does.” He also assured that NFF will keep to the letter and spirit of the contract.
