Akanimo Udofia has worked as the CEO of Desicon Engineering Ltd. in Lagos, Nigeria for over 20 years. In early January 2016, Premier League champions Leicester City signed 20-year old Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi from Belgian club Genk for £15 million over five and a half years. Ndidi started his career with Nigerian club Nathaniel Boys before joining Genk Academy at age 18, and has played in four games for Nigeria's national team, including two 2018 World Cup qualifiers. Leicester revealed Ndidi will wear the number 25 kit and hope he can replace N'Golo Kante after Kante transferred to Chelsea.
