Cross River State Governor Bassey Otu has presented the sum of N10 million to Super Eagles forward Terem Moffi following the team’s performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) held in January in Cote d’Ivoire.
Moffi, 25, was presented the gift on Thursday night when his father and younger brother accompanied him to see Otu in Calabar.
Otu said Moffi has proven himself a good ambassador of the state.
He promised to continue supporting his career.
“I am particularly delighted that you represented the state well and the fact that you have been a good ambassador of the youths in the state and beyond.
“Like you, we have so many talents across the state and we will continue to create opportunities for them to blossom.
“It is for that reason that we are making a lot of investment on youth and sports development,” Otu stated.
He also commended the Super Eagles players for his support to sports development in the state.
Earlier, Moffi donated N1 million to Pelican Stars FC, in addition to the donation of 25 balls each to the team and Calabar Rovers.
Moffi was invited by Super Eagles coach Finidi George for the team’s World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic next month.
The Nice player debuted for the senior national team in 2021.
