Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been conferred with a chieftaincy title by the traditional ruler of Egbema Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Nzeobi Evaritus Amida, shortly after Rivers State’s Governor Siminalayi Fubara gifted the star with N20 million.
Fubara said Nwabali made Rivers proud at the just-concluded African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Apart from being rewarded with N20 million by the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, the 27-year-old was also bestowed with the honour of Distinguished Service Star of River State.
The Governor had hosted Nwabali and the Rivers Hoopers Basketball Team at Government House in Port Harcourt.
The Governor particularly commended the Rivers-born Nwabali for his excellent goalkeeping in the Super Eagles team.
The royal father conferred on Nwabali “The Pride of Egbema Kingdom” following his impressive performance for the Super Eagles at the just concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Amida said Nwabali bagged the honour for bringing pride to the Egbema Kingdom.
