The contingent also took off and docked at the Falomo jetty in Ikoyi, Lagos, which was built by the telecommunications service provider for the Lagos State Waterways Authority.

 

“MTN supported the Nigerian national team, the ‘Super Eagles, with two boats and seven crew members,” a source disclosed.

“They even gave us a comprehensive life insurance policy to cover both going and coming.

 

“They also took off and docked at the modern Falomo jetty, which MTN built for LASWA.”
