Okoye canvasses support for American Football in Nigeria

Nigeria born American Football star and Houston Texas defensive tackle, Amobi Okoye has said that for the game to get the desired root in Nigeria, the Government, corporate bodies and the Media must be at the front burner of the campaign.

Okoye, who is in the country on a visit accompanied by the team from the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) to put finishing touches to the plans to get the game further introduced to elementary schools in Nigeria, said the only way to drive this initiative successfully is by the involvement of all and sundry.

“This is one of the charity works that i do with my teammates and I want to thank the press for popularizing what we are doing. As current players of American Football, our main goal is to introduce the sport to the continent starting with Nigeria.
