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.
