AITEO Group, has threatened to withdraw its sponsorship of the Nigeria Football Feceration if the ongoing crisis plaguing the football administration in the country is not resolved.
In a press statement issued through Ndiana Matthew, Senior Manager, Corporate Communications for AITEO, the company gave a 14-day ultimatum for the crisis to be settled or they will be forced to pull out of all sponsorship packages and agreement.
Mr Ndiana said in that the AITEO GROUP has become aware of media statements relating to suggested investigations of financial dealings at the NFF with respect to funds generated by financial sponsorship.
“As the leading sponsor of national football activities in the country presently and the largest contributor of the funds that ostensibly comprise the subject of the investigations, we are constrained to make our position known on the matter.
“We believe that it has become necessary, given the critical importance of providing well-meaning Nigerians with our views on the accurate position, to offer the following observations so that misunderstandings are avoided,” the statement read in part.
AITEO said since coming into Nigerian Football to take up financial support to the technical crew for the national team in April 2017, it demonstrated its satisfaction with the relationship by expanding the relationship to cover the sponsorship of the AITEO CUP.
