This time, he is willing to sponsor the ABUJA SWAN CUP, a competition that died a natural death under the leadership of the former FCT SWANECO.

Senator Kalu will be joined in this new romance with FCT SWAN by no other person than Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, a man known for his humanitarian and philanthropic endeavors.
