Nigeria billionaire Femi Otedola has agreed to pay the sum of $50,000 needed by ex-Super Eagles captain Christian Chukwu to seek medical attention in the United States of America.

The 68-year-old is suffering from prostate cancer which has affected his leg and he is now set to go under the knife.

According to reports, Otedola, a Nigerian business mogul, made the financial commitment during a phone conversation with the Cable and described his action as 'a token of support to a great Nigerian who served his country to the best of his ability'.
