The Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, is giving-out 500 free tickets to 500 football fans to come to the stadium to watch the match between the Black Stars of Ghana and the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, on Tuesday.

Runsewe who made this announcement in Abuja added that the wearing of national colour of green white green will be a condition for the issuance of the tickets to potential beneficiaries at the old parade ground by 12:00noon, on Tuesday 29th March, 2022.

In a chat with journalists in Abuja, the NCAC boss stressed that sports is a unifying factor in the country, adding that sports and culture are a veritable ingredients for the development of any nation.

Otunba Runsewe who doubles as the President of the Nigeria Golf Federation (NGF) also said that apart from mobilizing 3 million online culture friendly fan base to support the Super Eagles during the FIFA World Cup in Russia in 2018, the NCAC also engendered the mobilization of 10 million virtual supporters for the Eagles during the AFCON 2021 in Cameroon.

He urged Nigerians to put the early exit of the Super Eagles from the AFCON 2021 behind them and back the squad to qualify for the World Cup.

“It is time we put the behind early exit of the Super Eagles from the AFCON and stay focused on Nigeria qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar”, he said.
“We cannot continue to talk about Eagles not going far in the tournament after showing so much promise at the group stage” he further emphasized.

The NCAC boss said there was the need for Nigerians to give maximum support to National team so that they could qualify for the Qatar world cup which will serve as a good platform to once again market Nigeria’s rich and diverse culture, arts and crafts which would further attract global patronage. This, according to him, will translate to massive Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the country even after the fiesta.

Galatasaray have sent an initial bid of €50 million plus €5m in add-ons for Victor Osimhen amid Napoli’s demand for more money to sell the Super Eagles striker.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, in a statement on Monday, said Osimhen is keen on making a return to Galatasaray but the deal depends on club to club talks.

“Al Hilal remains involved in the race for Osimhen with a plan to pay his €75m release clause at Napoli but there is no agreement with the striker yet,” Romano added.

Reports also say that the Turkish Super Lig club is ready to offer the Nigerian international a three-year contract until the summer of 2028 with the option of another 12 months.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer and the Super Eagles striker went ahead to have a remarkable campaign with the Turkish club.

The 26-year-old scored 37 goals and contributed eight assists in 41 games across all competitions for Galatasaray, helping the club to win the Turkish Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup.
