NFF despatch Amodu to help Bosso

As part of the concern and efforts by the Nigeria Football Federation to see that the National Under-20 men's team secure a slot at this year's Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Egypt, the federation has dispatched senior men's team chief coach, Amodu Shuaibu to reinforce the technical crew. 
Amodu will on an Ethiopian Airline flight to Addis Ababa on Friday night, from where he will connect another Ethiopian Airline flight to Kigali, the Rwandan capital on Saturday morning. 

The Eagles coach will arrive in time to be part of the technical and tactical build–up of the Flying Eagles for Sunday's very crucial Group B clash with the Young Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire at the Amahoro Stadium. 

Defeat by South Africa's Amajita on Thursday has rendered Sunday's match a must-win for the Flying Eagles, who have three points in the campaign from their 2-0 defeat of Egypt at the Regional Stadium on Monday. 

"This is not a panic measure; it is part of our efforts to see that no stone is left unturned to earn the World Cup ticket. 

"There was absolutely no reason for the team to have lost to South Africa. In the light of this, the federation has decided that Amodu Shuaibu joins the team to reinforce the technical crew," said NFF General Secretary, Dr Bolaji Ojo-Oba on Friday evening. 

South Africa have climbed to six points and top Group B, while Nigeria and Egypt have three points each, and Cote d'Ivoire none. But all three teams are still in the race for qualification one way or the other.
