Femi Otedola, billionaire
businessman, has fulfilled his $25,000 per goal pledge to the Super Eagles.
Otedola had pledged the sum of
$25,000 for each goal scored by the Eagles during the just concluded 2019
Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
He made the promise alongside
Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, who doubles as Africa’s richest man,
before the Eagles’ semi final clash against Algeria in Egypt.
A brilliant free kick from Riyad
Mahrez, however, ensured that Algeria defeated Nigeria 2-1 in the semi final at
the Cairo International Stadium.
On Tuesday, the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) took to its Twitter page to announce that the business mogul
has made good his pledge to the Super Eagles.
“Business mogul Femi Otedola has
fulfilled his pledge of $25,000 to the @NGSuperEagles for their one goal
against Algeria in AFCON 2019 semi final,” the NFF wrote.

and former chairman of Forte Oil PLC, also promised to take care of the medical
expenses of Sadiq Daba, an ailing nollywood actor.
