Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Onyema, has promised to give the Nigerian Super Eagles a whooping 50 million naira, if they win the ongoing African Cup of Nations, which kicked off on January 9, 2022 in Cameroon.

Onyema, who made the pledge in Garoua, Cameroon, while speaking to the Super Eagles during half time in their opening game against Egypt, stressed that the players carry the hopes and aspirations of over 200m people and 350 ethnic nationalities on their young shoulders, urging them to give their best and win the trophy.

Air Peace, a leading Nigerian airline, is the official airline sponsor of the Nigerian National Teams. The partnership was sealed with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) led by Amaju Pinnick last year.

The Chairman who was quoted in a statement said: “We believe in what you can do, you have the strength as a team. Remember what I told you during the qualifying series. That it is not just an ordinary football match. You are carrying the hopes and aspirations of over 350 ethnic nationalities of our beautiful country.

“You’re playing for the unity of Nigeria. This is your time to play your part in cementing the unity of this nation, as Nigerians from North, South, East and West will celebrate in unison. Do us proud and when you come back with the cup, I’m going to give you 50 million naira”.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles will receive N10m from the Air Peace boss for the goal they scored against Egypt in the opening match of Group D on Tuesday.
