Football lovers in the country have requested Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, to buy into one of the local league clubs in order to help the growth of soccer.
According to some of them, all that some of the clubs need are massive injection of funds to help them to grow like some in the developed leagues such as the English league.
Some of the fans made the plea in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria from various parts of the country, against the backdrop of Dangote’s latest bid to buy into Arsenal FC of London.
Dangote was said to have in 2010 made a futile attempt to buy Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith's 15.9 per cent stake in the London club. Recently too, he was reported to have made another bid that had also been turned down.
