Lagosians savour the thrills and entertainment that the unifying game of
football avails the teeming population both young and old.
Onikan Stadium, Lagos (now Mobolaji Johnson Arena) is the
designated Mega Viewing Centre.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso

the Super Eagles, Governor Babajide Olusola-Sanwo-Olu deemed it fit to provide
an opportunity for all fans to watch the match.
