The footballer was filmed hugging an emotional Ugbade after presenting him with the keys to a white SUV.
Over the years, the Leicester City defensive midfielder has publicly acknowledged Ugbade’s significant role in his career.
Back in March 2023, Ndidi visited the Golden Eaglets’ camp in Abuja, where he reunited with Ugbade, who was coaching the team at the time. Ndidi expressed his gratitude, referring to Ugbade as “a very pivotal man in my football career.”
