decided that we will be
part of this. There were
mistakes in the past but
we have decided it will
not happen again, hence
we have decided we will
acknowledge our
legends at all points in
time, it’s not when they
pass on we will say, oh
he was a good man.
Amodu Shaibu is gone.
Stephen Keshi is gone.
Our great striker,
Rashidi Yekini is no
more with us. And so it
has been with us. We
want to see how these

Naira down at N360.69/$ in I&E
window
By Elizabeth Adegbesan
The naira yesterday depreciated to N360.69 per
dollar in the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window
despite a five percent rise in the volume of dollars
traded.
Data from FMDQ showed that the indicative
exchange rate for the I&E window rose to N 360.69
per dollar yesterday from N360.29 per dollar on
Wednesday, translating to 40 kobo depreciation for
the naira.
The volume of dollars (turnover) traded on the
window yesterday rose by five percent to $274.11
million from $ 261.73 million traded on Wednesday.
However, the naira yesterday was stable at N359
per dollar in the parallel market.
labour. It is for you that
we have sports
administrators. Without
you, no FA. Without you,
no CAF, no FIFA. So, we
must recognise you. We
are about to set up a
foundation that will look
into the lives of our
footballers and advise
them on life after football.
“For Christian
Chukwu, we hope and
pray that he goes for the
treatment, returns in
good health to be with
us. We will appoint him
Super Eagles
Ambassador and he may
have to be touring with
the Eagles. Some
stipends will follow this.
“The Cheque is
basically to take care of
his medical surgery, on
our part, we don’t want
him to go to USA, we
want him to go to
England, we have
already made
arrangement with two
hospitals because we still
want him around and we
will do everything within
our resources to ensure
he gets the best
treatment.”
“Femi Otedola has
shown tremendous
concern and made the
money available. He
would have been here
with us but for other
engagements that kept
him away. But he has
promised to visit you in
London when your
treatment is on. He will
even speak with you
shortly.”
Pinnick
commends Gov
Ugwuanyi
Amaju Pinnick also
commended the Enugu
State Governor, Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi for his
administration’s prompt
intervention in offsetting
the medical bills of the
former captain of Rangers
International Football
Club, Christian Chukwu
during his treatment at a
clinic in Enugu.
“I have to thank the
governor, who has been
amazing, he is a role
model for many people in
terms of display of total
‘Chairman' Christian Chukwu
humility, he is a man of
destiny, you see a lot of
positives radiating
around him. This shows
that he is a man of the
people genuinely despite
that he is a politician. I
say thank you, Your
Excellency, the good
people of Enugu State are
solidly behind you.”
Commenting on the
$50,000 donation by
Otedola for Chukwu’s
treatment abroad, which
was presented via a
cheque to the family by his
Chief Operating Officer,
Akinola, the NFF
President commended the
Nigerian businessman
and philanthropist for his
display of “dexterity”
describing him as an
“astute administrator.”
The NFF boss, who
promised Chukwu the
continued support of the
Enugu State Government,
the NFF, Otedola and
other Nigerians,
disclosed that
arrangement was
ongoing to fly him to
England for further
medical treatment, and
reassured him that he will
be much better after the
trip.
“The truth is without you
(Chukwu) there is no
NFF; without you there is
no CAF; without you
there is no FIFA; without
the players, there will be
no administration. If we
don’t get that at the back
of our mind and
acknowledge your
presence in ensuring total
well
being,
acknowledging your
presence is ensuring total
package, ensuring that
you live. We want to
strengthen you to be
closer to God, to be closer
to your family and now
know that Nigeria loves
you beyond imagination”,
said Pinnick.
Appreciating the efforts
of other contributors, he
said: “I also want to thank
the entire state football
stakeholders, members of
the executive committee,
members of the Nigeria
Football Congress and
also your colleagues that
have made us to know
that you are facing this.
We want to thank the ex-
Rangers and the current
Rangers players, among
others”
