The Honorable Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC). Bukola Olopade has advised Nigeria’s Super Eagles B to steer clear of complacency as they get ready to compete against Ghana in a crucial qualifying match on Saturday, December 28, in Uyo. Olopade highlighted the significance of making the most of their home advantage and encouraged the players to stay disciplined, focused, and strategic during the game. “Now is not the moment to let their guard down or underestimate the rivals.” The team needs to remain concentrated and put in their best effort to prevent experiencing the same disappointment against Ghana again. “The stakes are significant, and the nation is relying on them to succeed,” Olopade stated.
