Lagos Legends Club Applauds Health Insurance for Ex-Footballers

A significant relief has been provided to over 100 former Nigerian footballers through a newly facilitated health insurance cover, a move lauded by Engr Waidi Akanni, convener of the Lagos Legends Club (LLC). Akanni expressed deep appreciation for the efforts of Mr. Bashir Are, Chairman of the Lagos Lottery Board, in making this comprehensive medical insurance package a reality. He highlighted that many ex-internationals have been struggling to meet hospital bills, making this HMO a much-needed intervention. "You can see from the faces of most of our members present at the flag off of the HMO. They were so happy that they will not be bothered by where the next cash to pay for medical conditions will come from," Akanni stated, emphasizing the profound impact of the initiative. Another LLC member, Monday Kanu, described the gesture as "comprehensive, no-holds-barred medical insurance package, a feat entirely unprecedented within the football ecosystem." He praised Akanni's vision in making the HMO possible and noted the "profound tranquility" and "majestic canopy of guaranteed wellness" now available to the members for 365 days, vanquishing the specter of medical uncertainty. The facilitated HMO is seen as a long-anticipated prayer answered, bringing immense joy and a sense of security to the former players who have contributed to Nigerian football.
