Friday Olokor, AbujaThe Federal Government and private organisation should embark on deliberate steps to provide life insurance for Nigerian footballers, UK-born ex-England star of Nigerian descent, John Fashanu has said. “There is nothing for Nigerian players when they get to 30, when they are retiring. I was very lucky because I got a terrible injury and it gave me insurance for the rest of my life. We’ve got to look after our young players, we’ve got to look after our senior players. So many of our football players come down not with football injuries but from malaria.
