In his statement, the Sports Minister expressed his dissatisfaction with the recent results against South Africa and Benin Republic.
“The recent results are unacceptable,” said the minister.
“Despite the immense support from President Tinubu and the high expectations of Nigerian football fans, the Super Eagles have underperformed.
