In a remarkable show of corporate patriotism, the Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabi, has officially confirmed the release of a $500,000 reward to Nigeria’s national team, the Super Eagles.

In a statement released by the BUA Group, the billionaire businessman emphasized that the reward was not merely for winning a trophy, but a recognition of the team’s hard work and the pride they brought to millions of Nigerians.
