Former Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike might have quit professional football but he continues to give back to his community with the launch of a state-of-the-art medical facility in Owerri, Imo State.
The Emenike Hospital in Owerri joins a wide range of businesses the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner has built in the South-East region of Nigeria which include the EE29 Hotel and Suites.
