Chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical and Development Committee, Barrister Chris Green, has urged the Golden Eaglets to do all they can to qualify for next year’s FIFA and CAF competitions.
Green was speaking at a routine meeting with players and officials of the team at their camp in Abuja.
Last year, Nigeria won a record fifth FIFA U-17 World Cup title in Chile and Green says the youngsters should be keen to emulate their predecessors.
“You have to make names for yourselves and on behalf of the NFF President and board, I want to assure you that we are going to provide everything that will help in actualization of your talents,” stated the former Rivers State Commissioner for Sports who was in company with NFF board member, Ahmed Yusuf Fresh and Assistant Director (technical) Abdulrafiu Yusuf.
“You have not arrived yet and we don’t want you to get carried away at this stage,” he explained.”Don’t give room to the coaches to throw you out because they have briefed me that they would extend invitation to more players as we progress in the race towards the 2017 AFCON and World Cup campaigns.”
