Following the introduction of
special education incentive for every goal
scored at the just concluded National
Championship of the Airtel Rising Stars
Under-17 Football National Competition
by leading telecommunications operator,
Airtel Nigeria, twelve primary schools in
local communities across the six geo-
political zones of the country have been
chosen as beneficiaries of the initiative.
The company had offered $100 for every
goal scored during match regulation time
at the National Finals where 192 players
comprising 12 male and female teams
drawn from six zones across the nation
slugged it out for the trophies.
At the keenly contested tournament, a
total of 20 goals were scored from 14
matches played by both the male and
female teams.
Combined efforts from Team Kaduna
yielded 5 goals to tie with Team Port
Harcourt. Ibadan teams secured 4 goals,
while Lagos netted a total of 3 goals.
Enugu boys and girls recorded 2 goals
apiece, while the representatives of the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) trailed
the rest with a single goal.
According to Airtel's Director of
Corporate Communications and CSR,
Emeka Oparah, the respective team
Coaches will receive the aggregated
monetary value due their teams to
purchase books and other relevant school
items for donation to the pupils of the
selected schools in their domain.
Oparah said all the donations pan-
Nigeria will take place on resumption of
the new academic year in September.
Said he: "The Goal-for-Education"
initiative is intended to complement
what we are doing in Adopt-a-School
programme, our CSR platform. The idea
is to send the monetary value of the goals
scored at the Airtel National finals and
donate it to selected schools to open
doors to under-privileged children who
ordinarily would have no access to
quality education.
Airtel Nigeria is passionate about laying
a solid educational foundation for
Nigerian children."
The ARS National U-17 Championship
finals which held penultimate weekend
at the Agege stadium saw the Port
Harcourt male and female teams dust
their rivals to the trophies.
The Port Harcourt female team emerged
2-1 victorious over their opponents from
Ibadan to retain the trophy for the third
season.
In the same vein, the male team took off
from where their female counterpart left
off as they reclaimed the trophy they last
won two seasons ago at Campos Square
by up-staging the Ibadan team 2-0.
In the third place matches played earlier,
Kaduna defeated FCT Queens 5-4 to
retain the trophy they won last season in
the female category while team Lagos
won their first ever ARS medal 5-3
against their Kaduna counterparts.
