NSC To Ensure Good Team For Nigeria
Chairman of the National Sports Commission(NSC), Sani Ndanusa, says the NSC will supervise the preparations of the Golden Eaglets as they get ready for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup this October.
Nigeria have been grouped with Argentina, Germany and Honduras in what has been tagged the Group of Death and Ndanusa told newsmen that the Golden Eaglets would be adequately supervised ahead of the tournament.
“The venues have been confirmed, the hosting right has been given and the draws have been done. Unfortunately or fortunately for us we have been drawn in the group of death but I know we are going to live there and will be alive.
“Initially we were concerned with two things, getting the hosting rights and participation proper. Since we have been given the hosting right, I know that our participation now has taken the front seat of our business and we will be seriously involved in the team’s preparations.
“I can assure you we will do anything within our capacity and also give us all the encouragement that we need to present a good team for Nigeria,” Ndanusa assured.
