"Guinness as a brand is has always been in the fore front when it comes to supporting the Super Eagles and Brazil 2014 wont be any different," he told a packed press conference in Calabar.
"We were there when others didn't want to touch the Eagles with a long pole. I urged them to go win the 2013 African Cup of Nations and it came to pass even though many didn't believe it would be possible.
"Emmanuel Emenike is exactly the kind of player we need to be the face to drive our World Cup campaign and that is why we brought him on board." he added.
The marketing director also revealed that they are planning to bring a grade A friendly for the Super Eagles in Nigeria to help prepare the Super Eagles towards the World Cup in Brazil next year.
"We have as part of our plans a move to bring in a top class team to engage the Eagles here in Nigeria.
"Guinness brought Argentina to Abuja in 2011, and we hope to do it again. We will work in tandem with the coach to get a good team that will truly test the Eagles." Ufomba reiterated.
Emmanuel Emenike, who sat alongside coach Stephen Keshi as he was unveiled, said he is grateful to Guinness for the opportunity and will try his best to project the brand and the Super Eagles as a whole. The Fenerbache striker also gave credit for his resurgence to Keshi ,whom he said gave him another shot to prove himself in the national team. Congrats.
