Globacom boss Dr Mike Adenuga Jnr. last night gave the victorious Super Eagles $1million for winning the Cup of Nations.
Coach Stephen Keshi got $200,000 cash from the billionaire industrialist who said he will take over the payment of his salary from next month. Adenuga announced the package shortly after the team’s 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso’s Stallions. Africa’s richest man Alhaji Aliko Dangote had earlier given the team N130million, promising to do more after they might have won the cup.
The government’s package for the team will be announced when President Jonathan hosts them at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
