A businessman and football enthusiast, Abel Okamkpa, urged Nigerians to focus on ensuring that the country qualifies for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Mr Lekjaa said, “We are truly convinced that our bid will constitute a heritage for today’s generations and a legacy for those of tomorrow.’’
The deal with Saudi Arabia-owned Aramco is in effect until 2027, covering the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and the Women’s World Cup the following year.
The joint bid aims to use football as a way to contribute to Ukraine’s reconstruction, the statement said.
