Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke has fulfilled his
promise to the Super Eagles as title documents of lands were handed over to the
players.
NFF President Aminu Maigari handed over Certificates of
Occupancy (C of O) to the players for the plots of land promised them by the
Executive Governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, CON for their
triumph at last year's Africa Cup of Nations.
"It is my pleasure to present to you the
Certificates of Occupancy of plots of land promised you by Governor Liyel Imoke
of Cross River State, a true lover and supporter of Nigeria football, for your
victory at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
"Governor Imoke has once more demonstrated that he
is a man of his words. He has also told me that he has something special for
you all if you do Nigeria and Africa proud at the FIFA World Cup finals in
Brazil. He will be there in Brazil to support you," Maigari told players
and officials at their W. Buckhead Hotel base in Atlanta, following the
impressive 0-0 draw with 19th-ranked Mexico in an international friendly at the
Georgian Dome.
The Certificates of Occupancy were collected from
Governor Imoke and delivered to the NFF President in USA by NFF's Director of
Technical, Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme.
Most of the players invited for the friendly against
Mexico were part of the 23-man squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations for
Nigeria for only the third time ever last year. All the coaches and backroom
staff present in Atlanta are also legitimate beneficiaries.
