Nigerian business mogul, Aliko Dangote, has said he will not bother travelling to Qatar to watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup should Nigeria fails to qualify.
Dangote, who was on inspection tour of the main bowl of Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja said Nigeria qualifying to the world cup will bring pride to the Nation and not only him.

Nodding his head in appreciation of level of renovation work at the main bowl, the venue that will host Nigeria’s second leg against the Black Stars of Ghana, he highlighted the significance of the Super Eagles qualifying for the World Cup.
“It is not only important to me, but it is also important to all of us here, that is what will make us proud as Nigerians,” Aliko Dangote said.
He however pointed out that, should Nigeria fail to qualify, he has no business in Qatar.
“If Nigeria does not qualify, I won’t go there (Qatar),” he added.
The Black Stars are looking to return to the tournament after missing out in the last edition in Russia in 2018.
Nigeria, who have played in the last three editions of the World Cup, will look to qualify for the fourth consecutive time.
The play-off ties will be played between March 24 and 29, 2022 with exact dates and kick-off times to be confirmed after CAF liaises with the two countries’ associations.
