FORMER Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani has called on President Bola Tinubu to use the opportunity of his visit to Japan to thank the Japanese Billionaire who saved Nigeria from embarrassment in 2016.
Sani gave this advise on his official X (Twitter) Page on Tuesday, August 19, 2025.
He said the Nigerian U23 football team were stranded at Atlanta for financial reasons, he gave them $200,000 and also gave them $190,000 for winning the bronze medal.
Sani therefore called on the President to recognize the kind gestures of this great man now that the president is in Japan on official visit, “I call on the President now visiting Japan to look for Dr Takasu if he is still alive and thank him for his act of kindness.”

The Nigerian U23 team heading to Rio for the Olympics were stranded in Atlanta for financial reasons.
Takasu travelled from Tokyo to rescue them with $200k to cover their flight expenses and bonuses, he also gave $190k to reward them for winning Bronze.
Takasu was never appreciated by the Nigerian Government. I call on the President now visiting Japan to look for Dr Takasu if he is still alive and thank him for his act of kindness.”
