The 2010 World Cup bid Committee set up by the Federal Government to actualise Nigeria's hopes of hosting the global soccer event will today in Abuja be hosted by the Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku.

The inauguration which will come in two folds, will see the number two citizen, conferring on the members of the twosome committees that will convince the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) that the country has what it takes to host the world.

These committees are the ones of 30-member personalities, which are the Main Bid Committee and the 100 personalities, which is the Committee of Friends for the aspiration.

During the inauguration of the committees, the members would be charged with the responsibilities of fulfilling Fife's requirements in respect of provision of facilities and other logistics.

A number of various sub-committees have also been set up to help in working towards the hosting bid, so that Nigeria could beat other competing nations like South Africa, Egypt, Morocco and Algeria to it.

Among these committees are Media and Publicity, Facilities and Venues, Transport, Protocol and Ceremonial, while the Committee of Friends came in later to complement the existing ones.

However, the country's bid seems to be having problems with the President of the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), Sepp Blatter denying that Nigeria has been allowed to submit a joint hosting bid for the 2010 World Cup.

But the Chairman of the Committee, Segun Odegbami insists the country would still go ahead, despite mounting criticisms.
