Super Eagles Donate To Orphanage

Super Eagles captain and goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, says the team would continue to support the less privileged in the society, especially those in orphanages.

Enyeama made the promise in Abuja when the team donated some food items, toiletries and cash for the upkeep of orphans of the Divine Wounds of Jesus Christ orphanage, Kubwa.

Enyeama added that the team was prompted to donate the items to ensure that the orphans were well taken care of, noting that the education of the kids was important to the team as that was the foundation of their success as footballers.

"We are here to support this kids and your course. We just got to know about it and we said we want to be part of it."

"Personally on behalf of this team, my share of the bonus for the match against Chad will be paid into the orphanage account for education of the kids, to encourage them to push on."

"From time to time, we will continue to assist them in whatever way we can; this is our little token and appreciation from God for the work you are doing," Enyeama said.

Reports say apart from Enyeama’s donation of his match bonus, Eagles winger, Ahmed Musa also donated N500 000.

The Eagles used the opportunity of the visit to interact with fans who watched their last training session in Abuja on Saturday, preparatory to the June 13 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Chad.

The team departed Abuja for Kaduna on Sunday, ahead of the encounter, scheduled for the Ahmadu Bello Stadium.
