Expressing her disbelief upon receiving the flight fare details from her trusted travel agent, Professor Ezeilo shared her sentiments:

“I had envisioned the thrill of experiencing AFCON 2024 live and inquired about flights to Abidjan to witness our Super Eagles in the finals. Given the proximity of Ivory Coast (just an hour and 35 minutes away), I didn’t anticipate exorbitant costs. However, my travel agent of over two decades sent me a shocking quote of N2,183,000.00.

Professor Ezeilo requested refraining from converting the amount to US dollars, emphasizing the demoralizing reality it represents for a full professor. She expressed concern that such financial barriers might divert the ambitions of the bright young minds they are mentoring away from academia towards political pursuits.
