The Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) has reached an agreement to broadcast the final match of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) currently taking place in South Africa.
The matches have been beamed only on Satellite television with local stations not being able to bring the matches live to Nigerians due to a disagreement between the rights owners and the Nigerian broadcast regulator.
Meanwhile President Jonathan won’t be in South Africa to lead cheering for Super Eagles due to official commitments in London & Paris.
This was confirmed by the presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, who tweeted that the president will be in London and Paris for official engagements, but has sent representatives to cheer on the team.
Abati also revealed that members of the ‘transformed Super Eagles‘, will be hosted to a dinner reception on February 12 in Abuja.
He wrote: “President Jonathan sends high-powered delegation to South Africa to support the Super Eagles ahead of AFCON 2013 final on Sunday.
“Delegation led by Senator David Mark, incls Gov. Peter Obi, Gov. Isa Yuguda, Prof. V. Onwuliri, Navy Capt. Olubolade & Amb. Bashir Yuguda.
“He has charged the delegation to ensure the S/Eagles are properly motivated & in best possible spirits to win a resounding victory on Sun”
Pres. Jonathan will host the transformed super eagles to a dinner reception on Tues. 12 Feb. at the Banquet Hall, State House, Abuja, 7 pm.
