The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has charged the Super Eagles to approach the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against the Lions of Cameroon in Uyo with a never-say-die mentality. The match comes up on Friday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo. Pinnick, in a statement released by Demola Olajire, Head of Communication, on Thursday, urged the team to commit heart, soul and spirit to the match. The Super Eagles are topping Group B with six points, from two matches.
Nigeria is four points ahead of second-placed Cameroon, who have also played two matches. Pinnick said, “The much-respected Nigerian spirit that conquers so many adversities will see the three-time African champions through. “ But the Eagles must approach the game with a never-say-die mentality at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium. “This is a very crucial match and the players know so.
“The Cameroonians are not coming here to simply appraise the serenity and beauty of the city of Uyo; they are coming to contest the three points. “The Super Eagles must throw everything – their body, heart and spirit – into the game.
