Rangers International Football Club of Enugu and Afrinvest

Group Managing Director of Afrinvest, Prince Ike Chioke, dis-
closed that the journey to sponsor the club started six years ago.
Chioke said: “The partnership with Rangers is an opportu-
nity to improve the future of football talents in the country and
particularly in Enugu State and these talents will touch and im-
pact other people’s lives in the near future.
“In Afrinvest, we believe that when we uplift the lives of
young people through Rangers, they will later contribute to the
overall development of the state, the country and humanity in
general.
“We want to use Rangers as a case study; we will polish the
club, raise its publicity and public respectability and make it an
envy and pride of all Nigerians, not just the people in the South-
East but all over the world.”
General Manager of Rangers FC, Amobi Ezeaku, thanked
Afrinvest and the state government for believing in the club
and investing in it for the club to make the difference.
“Rangers will press on with its vision and mission to domi-
nate the world through Africa by this visionary investment of
Afrinvest,” he said.
