Chairman of
the House Committee on Sports, Honourable Kabiru Amadu, has commended the Super Eagles and the
Ibrahim Gusau-led Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for their vital victory over
Rwanda, which has rekindled Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026
FIFA World Cup.
Hon. Amadu,
who represents the Gusau/Tsafe Federal Constituency in the House of
Representatives, praised the team’s efforts but urged them to remain focused on
the remaining qualifiers, particularly the crucial matchday six fixture against
Zimbabwe in Uyo.
Speaking on
the victory, he said: “I congratulate the NFF and the Super Eagles for securing
this important win in Kigali. During their budget defense at the National
Assembly, the NFF assured us they would do everything possible to ensure
Nigeria does not miss back-to-back World Cup tournaments.
“With today’s
2-0 win, that goal is becoming a reality. However, the journey is far from
over. The players and officials must maintain focus and commitment to winning
the remaining matches,” he emphasized.
With this
result, the 2013 African champions now have six points from five games. South
Africa leads Group C with 10 points following a 2-0 victory over Lesotho,
while Benin Republic sits second with eight points after a 2-2 draw against
Zimbabwe. Rwanda occupies third place with seven points.
