According to Kunle Soname (O.F.R), Executive Chairperson of Bet9ja, Itauma’s fighting spirit reflects the values associated with the Nigerian people.
“In Moses Itauma, we see the grit, passion, commitment & never-say-die attitude that characterizes Nigerians and their spirit of excellence,” he said.
“As a truly Nigerian company that places the customer at the heart of everything it does, these same attributes have propelled Bet9ja to becoming the best-by-far sports betting company in Nigeria for the last decade.
“Bet9ja has always bet on Nigeria; creating jobs, empowering people from all works of life & adding enormous value to the economy. Our collaboration with Moses is the latest demonstration of our commitment to the Nigerian project. We are delighted to have Moses come on board as our ambassador, and we are expectant of a fruitful relationship between both parties,” he added.
The announcement comes on the heels of several recent high-profile campaigns involving the company, including the ‘Catch The BOOM!’ campaign and its renewed backing of Nigeria’s national football team’s ‘Let’s Do It Again’ initiative ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
