The excitement generated by the recently concluded Heineken/UEFA champions’ league trophy tour is still reverberating in football circles. When the trophy train made a well deserved stop at the Lagos State Government House Alausa, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN, showered encomiums on World’s leading international premium lager beer, Heineken® for availing Nigerians the rare opportunity to feel and experience the actual Trophy live
He made the commendation when ex-international football star and Coach Ruud Gullit, who is also the Heineken brand ambassador, paid the governor a courtesy visit with the League Trophy.
“Nigerians are extremely passionate about football. The UCL is a favourite amongst a very large section of Nigerians. The trophy is coming at a time when the Champions League is at a critical stage. Heineken’s gesture of giving Nigerians an opportunity to actually feel the real UCL trophy live here in Lagos Nigeria this period is indeed laudable. It is a gesture that most Nigerians, including myself would not forget in a hurry”, the governor said.
