The NFF’s Chairman of the Marketing and Sponsorship Committee, Alhaji Sharif Rabiu Inuwa, who represented NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau at the event, expressed the Federation’s satisfaction with the partnership.
He highlighted that although this formal partnership is new, ValueJet has been flying the Super Eagles to away matches for over 16 months, already earning praise from players and officials.
“I am happy that we have formally consummated this partnership, though unofficially, ValueJet has been providing excellent services to the Super Eagles by flying them to away matches for about 16 months now. Players and officials have commended their general operations, and the NFF is happy that this relationship has now been sealed,” Inuwa stated.
Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, the NFF General Secretary, also commended ValueJet for their professionalism, especially during a challenging situation in October 2024.
During the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match in Libya, the Super Eagles were held hostage by Libyan authorities, and ValueJet’s management and staff were praised for their diligent response during the crisis.
The new partnership between ValueJet and the NFF is expected to provide the National Teams with reliable and efficient air travel as they prepare for international competitions, including the upcoming continental tournaments and world-class championships.
This collaboration underscores ValueJet’s commitment to supporting Nigerian football and contributing to the success of the nation’s teams.
