Nigerian energy giants Aiteo, one of the continental leaders in the production and distribution of hydrocarbons, is the new title sponsor of the annual Confederation Africa Football (CAF) Awards.
The annual ceremony, which confers honours on actors, who have distinguished themselves during the year in the football family, will be held in Accra on January 4, 2018.
The energy giants will take over from Globacom Limited, another Nigerian firm, which has been the headline sponsors for over five years. Mr. Ahmad Ahmed, President of CAF, received the symbolic pennant from from Mr. Chike Onyejekwe, Managing Director of Aiteo Group to signal the commencement of the relationship.
The CAF Emergency Committee at its meeting in Lagos last Saturday set up an ad hoc committee to organize the event, chaired by CAF 1st Vice-President, Kwesi Nyantakyi.
