The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has pledged the full participation of the football body in the burial of late former Green Eagles captain, Christian Chukwu.
Gusau made the commitment on Friday in Enugu through NFF 1st Vice President, Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu, during a condolence visit to the Chukwu family by an NFF delegation and South East FA Chairmen.
Describing Chukwu as a patriotic and selfless leader, Gusau said, “The late Chukwu gave his all for the country. He is a hero even in death and can never be forgotten given his contributions as both player and coach.”
He explained that the visit also aimed to align with the family’s burial plans and ensure collaboration ahead of the final rites. “We want to be on the same page with the family and know what plans they are putting in place. Chukwu is a hero and the NFF will participate fully in his burial,” he added.
Responding on behalf of the family, Chukwu’s son, Emeka, thanked the NFF for the visit and disclosed that the burial programme would soon be made public.
