Hayatou to Globacom: You have done well

Commendations came the way of Nigeria’s telecommunication giant, Globacom, on Thursday night for the way it has been sponsoring football events in Africa.
Expressing his satisfaction, President, Confederation of African Football (CAF), Issa Hayatou, urged other companies to emulate Globacom.
“The agreement between Globacom and CAF in its 10th year has always been to reward great champions and hardworking sportsmen and women of the continent.
“The vote of the grand electors, all of them specialists in the game, is totally independent where CAF only comes in to count and calculate the eventual scores obtained,” Hayatou said.
Mike Adenuga, the Chairman Globacom Nig. Ltd., the sponsors of the 2014 Glo-CAF awards, said the company was proud to celebrate the greatness in African football.
He said that the theme of this year’s event was “Powering Greatness in African Football’’.
According to Adenuga, Globacom is dedicated to celebrating football fans across the African continent for their contributions to generating excitement at every game of football.
“By their passion and strength, they light up the arena and complement the artistry by footballers on the pitch.
“The Glo-CAF Awards has over the years been firmly established as the most authentic platform to annually celebrate the success story that African football has become,’’ Adenuga said.
