14 The Governor of Cross River State, Bassey Otu, has gifted Terem Moffi N10m for helping the Super Eagles finish second at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
Moffi received the gift on Thursday night in Calabar alongside his father and younger brother.
Otu praised Moffi for being a good ambassador of Cross River and being an example for the youth of the state.
“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 in youth and sports development,” Otu stated.
Earlier, Moffi had donated N1million to Pelican Stars FC, in addition to the donation of 25 balls each to the team and Calabar Rovers.
Moffi made his first appearance at the AFCON 2023 in the semi-final against South Africa.
He converted the Eagles’ first spot kick as they went on to win 4-2 on penalty shootout after regulation time ended 1-1.
