Christian Chukwu, the
former captain of the old Green Eagles and ex-coach of the Super Eagles has
arrived in the United Kingdom (UK) for medical treatment.
Chukwu travelled with
his wife aboard a Virgin Atlantic Airline flight from Lagos and his arrival was
confirmed in a statement on Thursday by the Director of Communications of the
Nigeria Football Federation, Ademola Olajire.
According to Olajire,
the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, arranged for an appointment for the Nigerian
legend with a renowned cardiologist in London.
“I am very happy with
the efforts of the Nigeria Football Federation through the President, Mr Amaju
Melvin Pinnick. He has proved that he is truly the father of Nigerian Football.
I am also grateful for the support and prayers of other Nigerians.
“It is waist pain and
stomach upset that I keep feeling. The doctors in Nigeria have treated the
stomach upset and it remains the waist pain, but I am confident that I will
come back to Nigeria having regained sound health,” Chukwu was quoted as saying.
Olajire said Chukwu and
wife were seen off at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos by a
Member of the NFF Executive Committee and Chairman of the Nigeria Women
Football League, Aisha Falode and protocol officials of the federation.
