Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has established a viewing center named Solution Viewing Centre in Awka, the state capital, for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) final match between Nigeria and the host nation, Cote d’Ivoire, scheduled for Sunday.
The governor’s Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, stated that this initiative reflects Governor Soludo’s support for the Super Eagles and aims to encourage Anambra residents to gather and cheer for the national team during the match.
According to the statement, there will be free drinks and popcorn for viewers. It added that Ekwueme Square was selected as the location of the viewing centre because of its space.
Parts of the statement read: “Aside the spacious viewing centre located at Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, there will be side attractions which include a Disc Jockey (DJ) on stage, free popcorn and liquid to go with for everyone, guest appearance and many more.
“Soludo has consistently expressed his support for the Super Eagles and urges them to bring home the coveted cup.
“Like every Nigerian, the governor understands that football is one aspect of Nigerian life that does not know tribe, gender or class.
“Both the low and high express joy and happiness freely when their team flops or does well without restrictions.”
The viewing centre will be open by 7:00 pm on Sunday.
