The governor praised Moffi as a role model for the state's youth and pledged continued support for the footballer's career.

Super Eagles and OGC Nice striker has received a N10 million reward from the Governor of Cross River State, Bassey Otu, for helping Nigeria's National team win silver at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The governor praised Moffi as a role model for the state's youth and pledged continued support for the footballer's career.

Otu also highlighted that his administration will focus on youth development through sports programs.

“I am particularly delighted that you represented the State well and the fact that you have been a good ambassador of the youths in the State and beyond.

“Like you, we have so many talents across the State and we will continue to create opportunities for them to blossom. It is for that reason that we are making a lot of investment in youth and sports development,” Otu told NAN.

Moffi had donated N1 million to Pelican Stars FC and provided soccer balls to both Pelican Stars and Calabar Rovers.

The 25-year-old footballer joined Nice in 2023 after playing for Lorient in France and KV Kortrijk in Belgium.

He debuted for the Nigerian national team in 2021 and has been selected for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.
