The Super Eagles of Nigeria will take on the Crocodiles of Lesotho at the Teslim Balogun stadium in Lagos tomorrow and NFF partners have provided a cash gift of ₦2million (Two million Naira) for the Eagles best player in the match.

An alcohol producing company is putting down a sum of ₦1million (one million Naira) for the best Eagle in the match while another sponsor, a motor brand is also putting down the same amount for the best player.
