 “I was able to see Kenneth Omeruo and Chuba Akpom at the match. I am meeting the parents of a number of these youngsters this time and have plans to meet all of them and also their parents in due course."

 “You see, some of them might have represented England at junior level, but they are willing to represent Nigeria at senior level, and that is what we are looking at."

 “We are looking at strengthening our teams at all levels and these players are willing, once we can convince them that there is a new set-up in Nigeria football.”
