AFCON REWARD: Dangote set to fulfill $1m promise to Super Eagles

So the reward for winning the African Cup of nations are still pouring in.... Reports have it that Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote is set to fulfill his promise of $1m to the Eagles after a public call by the captain of the team to the Billionaire and others who made a promise to the team.

"We understand the busy schedule of Alhaji Dangote, we are just asking his aides to help remind him of the promise to us. It’s just a reminder to patriots who are very busy and may not have been prompted after they made their pledges, because the players are determined to bring more honours to fatherland at the forthcoming World Cup” Enyeama said

Speaking with BBC Sports, Dangote said the only reason he hasn't redeemed his promise was because nobody from the team or NFF had contacted him

"We’ve been waiting for Nigerian officials to collect the money but nobody has written to us. We will write to them, asking for the account numbers of the players, then we’ll make the transfer immediately.”
