Globacom, the official sponsor of Nigerian national teams, has expressed grief on the death of former coach of the Super Eagles and Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, Shaibu Amodu.
In a press statement in Lagos on Monday, the company described the death of Amodu as unfortunate especially happening barely three days after the country lost another former coach, Stephen Keshi.
According to Globacom, the deaths of the two coaches in such a short space of time were quite saddening, adding that the sports community and Nigeria as a whole had been robbed of two icons.
“Globacom commiserates with his family, the Nigeria Football Federation and the entire Nigeria Football Community on the death of Amodu, and prays that Allah will grant him Aljannah Firdaus,” the statement noted.The company stated that Amodu left indelible footprints, and that his outstanding contributions to the development of the round leather game in the country would be remembered for a long time.
