The final burial ceremonies of Late Christian Chukwu, who captained Nigeria’s 1980 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad, have commenced, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

His burial has been scheduled for 16th August, 2025, at the family ancestral home, Obe, Enugu State, while the state capital is agog as billboards are mounted across the ancient city of Enugu to celebrate their illustrious son.

Recall that the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, in Victoria Island, hosted a tribute night in memory of Chairman Chukwu, Moses Effiong, Charles Bassey, Peter Rufai, and boxer Obisia Nwankpa, all of whom died recently.
