Help has come to the ailing football coach, Justin Tenger, as his colleagues at the Benue State Sports Stakeholders Forum donated the sum of N100,000 for his recovery.
Tenger is currently battling for life at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
A two man delegation comprising Coaches Andrew Iornongo and Emma Orsar, who are among the oldest and vastly experienced football tacticians in Benue State, were at the FMC Keffi on Saturday, September 23, to present the sum to Tenger on behalf of the stakeholders as a token of moral and financial support.
The leader of delegation, Coach Iornongo, conveyed the sympathy and well-wishes of the members to the former Sir Akpoo System, BCC Lions, Lobi Stars, Niger Tornadoes and Kwara United coach and wished him quick recovery.
He assured his family of the stakeholders’ continuous support just as he urged members who are close to Keffi to endeavour to find time to visit the ailing coach.
Responding on behalf of his father, Timothy Tersoo Tenger, appreciated the financial assistance and said with prayers from loved ones like the Benue State Sports Stakeholders, his father will pull through the present health challenge.
He also said such gestures should be extended to other members of the forum who may find themselves in similar circumstances in future, as he reiterated that the family of Tenger will remain eternally grateful to the Benue State Sports Stakeholders for their magnanimity.
Meanwhile, a leading member of the Benue State Stakeholders Forum and astute football administrator, Mr Harry kwaghfan Yachi, thanked coaches Iornongo and Orsar for accepting to travel to Keffi on behalf of other members.
He also commended members of the Forum on their willingness to make voluntary contributions whenever they are called upon to assist other members who are in dire need of help.
