Dana Air extends Akwa United sponsorship deal
One of Nigeria’s leading airlines Dana Air, has extended its multi-million sponsorship deal with Uyo based Akwa United FC for the 2018/19 League season.
Speaking at a brief ceremony in the conference room of the Godswill Akpabio International stadium, the Media and Communications Manager of Dana Air, Kingsley Ezenwa said the partnership was extended because the airline believes in the club.
He said, “We are back again to extend what we started last year. We believe in Akwa United and the club actually did well last season and looks good for the next season.
‘’We are also committed to developing sports particularly football in Nigeria. We are the first airline to have taken this step towards making our league glamorous and we hope other credible organizations will follow because we believe that our league can actually get to that level.’’
Speaking further Kingsley said, ‘for us at Dana Air, it’s not just about flying to Akwa Ibom state, but contributing positively to the growth and development of the state.’’
Also speaking at the event, the Chairman of Akwa United, Elder Paul Bassey described Dana Airlines as worthy partners and expressed delight that the contract has been extended for another year.
“We are particularly grateful to Dana Airlines for this amazing partnership with our club. This partnership has relieved us of the stress of tedious road travels to league matches especially the northern and western parts of this country”.
