Imo State Government Rewards Eaglets by solbase10(m): 3:02pm On Nov 17, 2013
Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has rewarded the members of FIFA U17 World Champions, Golden Eaglets who are from the state.

Governor Okorocha announced a cash donation of 2 million Naira to the assistant coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, and a million Naira each to Kelechi Iheanacho, Chidiebere Nwakali, Chidera Ezeh and Odinaka Uzoho.

He also announced the donation of parcel of land to each of them at a choice area in Owerri as well as scholarship award to university level.

He further announced their enlistment for the awards of highest honours in the Imo Merit Award instituted by the State government to honour citizens who have excelled in their different fields of endeavour.

He noted that the boys have written their names in gold by displaying skills, spirit of resilience and excellence which Imo people are known for and charged other youths in the State to follow the path of honour rather than engaging in criminal acts that can endanger their future.

The players and coach were treated to a rousing reception by the government and the people of Imo State as they were received at the Sam Mbakwe Airport and their convoy waded through the major streets of Owerri to the Government House, where they were again warmly received.
