Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan Set To Host CHAN Bronze Medalist Next Week

The revelation that there are plans by the presidency to host the players after they finished in third place in the recently concluded African Nations Championship (CHAN) was made by a top official of the Sports Ministry, Julius Ogunro.

Ogunro who is the Special Assistant to the Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the revelation in a television interview on Wednesday night.


“I have good news for Nigerians and the team that they would be received by President Goodluck Jonathan (GCFR) next week Thursday at an elaborate reception in Abuja,” Ogunro told Channels Television.

It is however not clear if they will be any form of reward to the players from the Presidency as was the case last Year when the Super Eagles won the Africa Cup of Nations.
