The Nigeria Minister of Sports, Owan Enoh has told the Super Eagles players via Zoom chat that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said, he wasn’t impressed with the performance of the team in the Group stage.
The Super Eagles cruise into the knockouts with victories over Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau despite struggling in front of goals.
The Eagles open their AFCON campaign with a 1-1 draw with group A winners Equatorial Guinea and have scored just three goals in 2023 AFCON.
Senator Enoh Owan while chatting with the Eagles said the President is watching the AFCON and request for improvement against neighbour Cameroon in the round of 16.
The two of the continent’s giants Cameroon and Nigeria will meet in the last-16 of the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
A win for the Eagles will see them surpass their 2021 performance where they crashed out in the round of 16 after winning all their group matches.
