Rangers International, a seven-time Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL winner, and Afrinvest Limited have agreed to a shirt sponsorship deal worth N50 million annually.

If the current initial season is completed, the agreement features a clause that allows it to be renewed for the next two football seasons, making it a total of three consecutive seasons.

The state’s Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Lloyd Ekweremadu, said in a statement following the presentation of the shirt sponsor that Afrinvest has challenged the state government with the sponsorship to do more for sports in general as well as for Rangers specifically.
