Lawal’s European exploits bolster Super Eagles credentials
Cyril Ogar
Former Flying Eagles striker, Salim Fago Lawal continues to enjoy rave of the moment in Europe after his brace for NK Istra sealed 2-1 victory for the club over Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian top flight league played on Sunday evening.
Lawal was unstoppable, blazing with fire as he opened his goals account in the 10th minute of the encounter to the cheering of NK Istra fans at the stadium. It was the needed goal that announced a strong intent of Istra to win the game against their more illustrious opponent.
The former Mavlon FC of Lagos was not done yet against the defence of Dinano Zagreb, as his effort found the back of the net again in the 32nd minute to make it two goals advantage for Istra, which remained till the end of first half.
The second half saw a more determined Dinamo Zagreb bombarding the defence of NK Istra inorder to reduce the tally and possibly claw back the two goals deficit, but it was a consolatory goal that came nine minutes to full time through Monsef Bakrar.
It was a well deserved victory and another sublime performance from Lawal, who now has five goals and two assists, totally a seven – goal contribution this season, as the 22 – year old striker continues to work hard towards his maiden Super Eagels call-up pretty soon.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
