President of Ben Akwuegbu FC and a former Super Eagles captain Benedict Akwuegbu has donated a brand new Toyota Hiace 'Hummer' bus to his Nationwide League One (NLO) club.
The gesture by the Korea/Japan World Cup Nigeria legend is to ease the team's stress as regards going for practice sessions and travelling to prosecute away matches outside Jos, Plateau State.
Transportation to training and matches is one major challenge faced by some NLO teams, as it's a bit expensive when a team has to charter a bus for matches," said Akwuegbu.
"A few man hours are lost when teams hire cheap rickety bus and in the end breaks down on transit.
" Also, we all know that our roads are now a serious death trap and a haven for robbers, so with this brand new bus, the club has overcome such challenges."
General Manager of the club Rotimi Adeniji couldn't hide his delight with the development as he thank the former Super Eagles star for the gesture.
"This is one step in the right direction for the club's progress and poor transportation plans, are one thing that clubs in Nigeria envisage.
"Now that we have a brand-new bus as part of our transportation option, we can now shift focus on other core objectives set by the club management as we aim to maintain our top cadre status of the Nationwide League One
Recall Ben Akwuegbu FC acquired an existing Division One slot and will from 2023 season participate in the league.
