The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, has purchased 30,000 tickets for fans ahead of Nigeria's clash against Zimbabwe later today (Tuesday, March 25).

The Super Eagles are set to host the Warriors of Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo for their sixth match in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Governor Umo's gesture is part of efforts to mobilize fans to support the team.

Head coach Eric Chelle will look to build on their 2-0 victory against Rwanda last Friday.

A second consecutive win against Zimbabwe will further boost their position in Group C.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 pm
