The NFF supremo, also the 1st Vice President of the Confederation of African Football, gave this assurance in London on Thursday, hours after receiving former Nigeria captain Christian Chukwu alongside his wife and sister after Chukwu arrived for medical treatment.
“You would recall that at the last AITEO/NFF Football Awards in Lagos on 1st April 2019, we had announced that a welfare foundation would be instituted for our legends to take care of them in times of their need. At that time, we didn’t even have any idea that Chukwu would be faced with this kind of health challenge.
“I am happy that he is here now and we have made adequate arrangements for his surgery, medication and general after-surgery care. He will get the best treatment possible and we are confident he will return to Nigeria hale, hearty and sound of mind and body.”
Chukwu arrived in London on Thursday in company with his wife Lilian Nkeiruka, his sister Mrs Edith Chinelo Motanya and Dr. Ibrahim Gyaran, who is medical doctor of the Super Eagles.
He will have the surgery and immediate after-surgery care at the Wellington Hospital on Circus Road, in St. John’s Woods.

In the event, the nine-time African champions set up a Final match date with host nation Cote d’Ivoire, which will hold at the same venue on Saturday.
The encounter with Ghana was a repeat of last year’s semifinal, which the Super Falcons lost, and although both teams had chances to score, regulation time ended 0-0 and the game had to go into a penalty shoot-out. The Dame Elephantes fluffed two of their kicks to hand Nigeria victory.
“The competition has been quite interesting and it has been a great experience for the Super Falcons. Against the Ivorians, we will play our normal game, approach things calmly and take our chances.
“Winning the Cup would be good for the girls’ spirit and just reward for their endeavour here. It would also significantly motivate and spur those members of the team who will be going with us to the FIFA World Cup final camp in Austria on Monday.”
The Falcons are due back in Nigeria on Sunday, while the delegation to the FIFA World Cup final camp in Austria will depart Nigeria on Monday night.
