Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, Monday donated cash and writing materials to his alma mater in Ilorin, The PUNCH reports.
The Nottingham Forest striker is also renovating six classrooms and a hall at the Government Day Secondary School, Ilorin.Awoniyi, who signed for Forest from Union Berlin for £20m last summer, proved to be a revelation for the Tricky Trees as his goals helped them stay up in their first season back in the topflight.
The 25-year-old scored 10 EPL goals for Forest, earning Steve Coopers’ side 13 points and vastly improving their league placing to 16th in the log with 38 points from 38 games. According to Opta, points won with goals last season show that without Awoniyi’s interventions, Forest would have recorded 25 points instead of the 38, placing them joint bottom in the relegation zone.All rights reserved.
