NFF President Amaju
Pinnick, 2nd Vice President/LMC chairman Shehu Dikko and top executives of
Nigeria's foremost energy solutions company, Aiteo Group were at the Super
Eagles’ Hyatt Regency Hotel camp in Paris on Thursday.
The NFF and Aiteo Group
signed a landmark 5-Year partnership agreement five weeks ago, which made the
energy solutions company Optimum Partner of the NFF.
The company’s Deputy
Managing Director, Mr. Francis Peters and the Group Executive Director
(Corporate Services/ General Counsel), Barr. Andrew Obinna Onyearu, were with
Pinnick and Dikko.
NFF and Aiteo Group’s
agreement is to take care of the remuneration of Coaches of all the National
Teams, taking a huge financial burden off the shoulders of the Football
Federation – a move the NFF President has described as the first of several to
come.
"We have come to
introduce these unique Nigerians (Peters and Onyearu) to you (Super Eagles), so
that you can put your minds at rest that all your interests are receiving the
right kind of attention by the NFF," Pinnick assured.
"Aiteo have matched
their words with action. The issue of payment of Coaches of the National Teams
will no longer be a headache for the NFF. The first set of payments have been
made and all those concerned will begin to get their confirmations any moment
from now."
Both Mr. Peters and Barr.
Onyearu commended the NFF President and his Executive Committee for their
efforts in attracting Corporate Nigeria to the Nigerian game, urging the Eagles
to stay focused and committed to getting good results on the pitch.
Peters said the
partnership with the NFF is only the beginning of many more relationships in
the near future.
"We commend this NFF
leadership for their foresight and ingenuity. They approached us and we saw
that we can help to solve some of these financial challenges and also
contribute our quota to the development of the game. We are happy to partner
with them. This is just the beginning. I am sure there is still so much more to
come," Peters concluded.
