Dalung, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Adesola Olusade, said 2018 was full of sporting activities, hence the need to source for fund to ensure that Nigeria’s participation was well deserved.

“Signing of this MoU is not an overnight thing; we went through their proposals carefully with inputs from relevant agencies and our legal department.

“We cannot afford to delay the signing of the MoU since most of the activities involved in the partnership are for short time period because they are events specific.

“We are having this partnership because government is constrained with what it can do for sports.

“But we are fortunate to have good hearted individuals who believe in sports development and have done their best in supporting sports,’’ he said.

Dalung, however, called on sports loving Nigerians and multinationals to support sports to ensure that Nigeria get podium performance at the competitions.

Responding, Queen Uboh, managing director of Apex-Krane International Construction, said the company was working to raise over N1.3 billion to ensure that Nigeria has glorious outing at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

She said they would work with all Nigerians and every sports stakeholder to be able to raise the targeted fund.

Uboh assured the ministry that the partnership would bring good development to sports, particularly football in Nigeria.
