Christian Chukwu, a former
captain and chief coach of the Super Eagles, is seriously down with an
undisclosed ailment.
Consequently, he will be needing
the sum of about $50,000 to be flown to the United States of America to undergo
surgery and for other medical treatment.
Chukwu’s present predicament was
brought to light following an appeal made by Benson Ejindu, the patron of
former Enugu Rangers players association, both in Nigeria and all over the
world.
“Christian “Chairman” Chukwu, who
captained the famous Enugu Rangers International FC and the Nigeria national
team in the 1970s and early 1980s, needs a different type of support – your
financial support. Your support, no matter how small, will offset the cost of
surgeries and treatments to restore his debilitating health,” said Ejindu.
“I am asking you to join me, this
time around, in raising funds for Chairman Chukwu, who is currently in Nigeria
receiving treatments for various ailments. Your financial support will help fly
him to the United States for better treatment.
“We are hoping to raise about
$50,000 to cover Christian Chukwu’s round trip flight from Nigeria and all the
medical expenses. Leftover funds will help set up a health and welfare account
for all Ex Rangers Players.”
As of the time of filing this
report, a total of $2,850 has been raised for the former national team captain
through an account opened for him. But he will need about $50,000 for the
operation and all other medical expenses.
