The Rangers International Football Club and Afrinvest Limited have signed a one-year official football jersey sponsorship agreement worth N50 million per football season.
The agreement has a clause of renewal of agreement for the next two football seasons after the run of the current football season; thus, making it a total of three consecutive seasons if the current initial season runs through.
Speaking on the signing in Enugu on Tuesday, Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State said that the signing was his vision to catalyze private sector investment and bring about the needed financial flow into the state.
Mbah, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, said that the government was optimistic that very soon Rangers would be a highly rated and competitive club not only in Nigeria but in Africa.
“Rangers International FC remains a legendary club and a great brand that will soon be a re-branding focal point for Enugu State and Nigeria; as the club takes it exploits to national and continental levels.
“As a government, we thank Afrinvest for investing and sponsoring the jersey of the club and other positives that the company will be bringing to the growth of Rangers, football and the entire Enugu State,” he said.
Earlier, the Group Managing Director of Afrinvest, Prince Ike Chioke, said that the journey to sponsor Rangers started six years ago, adding: “In Afrinvest, we are grateful that Gov. Mbah and Rangers management made it a reality today”.
According to Chioke, this partnership with Rangers is an opportunity to improve the future of football talents in the country and particularly in Enugu State and these talents will touch and impact 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,” he said.
Chioke lauded the General Manager of the Club, Amobi Ezeaku, and his management team for pressing hard for the sponsorship within the last six years.
The state’s Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Lloyd Ekweremadu, said that with the sponsorship, Afrinvest had given the state government the challenge to do more not just for Rangers but sports in general.
Ekweremadu said that with the relationship, he was optimistic that Rangers would soon achieve unprecedented heights; “while the trophies and accolades would be coming soon”.
“I thank Afrinvest for giving us the leverage to stand out as the best and get more fan base, more national and international outlook and exposure as well as lots more,” he said.
In a vote of thanks, the General Manager of Rangers, 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 dominate the World through Africa by this visionary investment of Afrinvest,” he said.
Rangers’ Coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, assured Afrinvest, Rangers fans both home and abroad that the club would make them proud this current season by being the best and finishing top.
The signing was witnessed by Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) officials as well as ex-national and ex-Rangers players, which included: Christian Chukwu, Emmanuel Okala and Davidson Owumi among others.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
