The owner of Nigeria National League side, Vandrezzer FC, Joe Udofia has brought smiles to the faces of sports journalists on foremost Whatsapp platform, Nigerian Sports Mouthpiece (NSM) with a donation of half a million naira to help them cushion the effect of Coronavirus pandemic that has dealt a big blow on the world economy.
Coronavirus cases continue to be on the increase in Nigeria with 389 new reported cases making it 8733 cases reported with 254 deaths and 2501 discharged as at Wednesday night in the report posted by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
Journalists have been one of the professions hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic with so many either losing their jobs or placed on ridiculous wages because of their employers’ inability to break even as a result of the pandemic.
But the owner of Vandrezzer FC a club campaigning in the lower league of the Nigerian league deemed it fit to bring succour to sports journalists and he paid his humble donation to the Super Admin of NSM, Adewale Ajayi on Thursday afternoon.
Vandrezzer have been making waves under the tutelage of Brazillian head coach, Rafael Everton and just recently the Ikot Ekpene Stadium has been wearing a new look due to the ingenuity of the owner of the club, Joe Udofia.
