The Nigeria Football Association (NFA) has said in Abuja that it was still studying the situation on whether Kaduna should remain the venue for the upcoming Nigeria/Rwanda match.

The match, a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, is to hold in Nigeria between June 15 and June 17.

NFA had earlier given indications that the match would hold in Kaduna.

NFA chairman Aminu Maigari, while speaking to newsmen on the issue, said the association was not going to comment on the issue as the situation was being studied.
