Super Eagles’ ll Qualify For Qatar 2022-NFF
Joel Ajayi
The General secretary of Nigeria Football Federation, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi has given assurance that the Super Eagles will qualify for the 2022 FIFA World cup in Qatar.
Speaking when the executive members of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT Chapter visited to celebrate his birthday with him in his office at the Moshood Abiola National stadium in Abuja, Dr Sanusi stated that all hands are on deck to ensure that Nigeria’s flag is hoisted in Qatar next year.
According to him, “the game in Cape Verde wasn’t an easy one bearing in mind that they have been unbeaten in their home soil over the past five years. With that in mind, they thought it was going to be business as usual when they scored first. But our boys fought back to level scores and got a deserved winner late in the game.
“We are assuring Nigerians that the NFF will do everything humanly possible to ensure that the Super Eagles qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. We give God the glory and we thank the Federal government and Nigerians for their support and prayers” the NFF chief scribe stated.
Earlier, while presenting a massive designer birthday card to Dr Sanusi, the FCT SWAN chairman, Bunmi Haruna charged the NFF not to relent in the quest to qualify Nigeria for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
His words, “We congratulate the NFF and Nigerians for the excellent results the Super Eagles recorded against Liberia and Cape Verde in the world cup qualifiers. These victories couldn’t have happened by chance, they are obviously results of well planned preparations and determination of the NFF and the team.”
“As we look forward to the rest of the matches, we want to urge the team not to relent,and to be cautious that nothing has been achieved until we qualify for the world cup.
On our part we will continue to support the NFF, the Super Eagles and other national teams to succeed in all competitions” the SWAN boss stated
An overwhelmed Dr Sanusi after receiving the giant card expressed his joy at the gesture by SWAN even as he called on the Sports writing body to support NFF to develop the game.
“I am aware that you came to the office to celebrate my birthday on August 30 but I was away on an international assignment to commission the world cup qualifying match between Egypt and Angola. Let me say I’m overwhelmed by your kind gesture. Thank you so much for extending this gesture to me” he quipped.
The Eagles have two wins from two games against Liberia and Cape Verde and presently seats on top of Group C with six points.
Despite missing 10 regular players in the last match away to Cape Verde, Nigeria was able to grind out a 2-1 win after defeating Liberia 2-0 four days earlier.
The Super Eagles will next month play Central African Republic in continuation of their quest to be at Qatar 2022 world cup.

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
