The Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF), has commended the Akwa Ibom State Government, for hosting the
2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles and Tanzania last
Saturday.
Kelechi Iheanacho’s 78th
strike, gave the hosts a 1-0 win, to round off what was a miserable campaign.
NFF General Secretary, Dr.
Mohammed Sanusi, declared that they were pleased with the arrangements made by
the Akwa Ibom State government for the two teams, match officials and the NFF’s
organizing team.
“The NFF can only commend
the efforts of the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State for the wonderful
role they played. Even for such a match that had no effect on the qualification
race, we had a full house at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. That underscores the
level of work done by the Government in the area of mobilization.
“The NFF values its
relationship with the Akwa Ibom State government and will always advise
directly on what areas need to be improved upon. We have spoken directly to
those who matter with regards to the concern raised about the pitch, and we are
happy that work has already started in that area.”
