Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has donated N2 million to a member of the Atlanta ’96 Olympics Gold medal-winning Dream Team, Kingsley Obiekwu.

A broadcast journalist, Okwuluora, had aired the plight of Obiekwu, who drives a cab in Enugu for survival.

Obiekwu, in a recent interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said that he coaches INGAS FC, Enugu, and combines the coaching job with the commercial transport business to make ends meet.

“Yes, I am a commercial transporter; there is nothing to hide about it. Man has to do what is legal to pay his family bills.

“I have four children at Enugu State University of Technology and my last child is in primary five,” he said in the NAN interview.

Social media users have commended Musa for the kind gesture while calling on others to emulate him.
