The National Sports Commission (NSC) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in their quest to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. NSC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, made this pledge during the unveiling ceremony of new Super Eagles head coach, Eric Sekou Chelle.
Dikko said the importance of a strong partnership between the NSC and the NFF, stating that their success is intertwined. To further bolster the NFF's efforts, the NSC has proposed the establishment of a Presidential Support Group (PSG).
"The PSG will not replace the NFF's work but will provide crucial support to achieve the shared goal of World Cup qualification," Dikko clarified.
The NSC Chairman expressed his satisfaction with the selection process that led to Chelle's appointment, highlighting its thoroughness and transparency. He also emphasized the potential for strengthened regional ties within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) through Chelle's appointment.
"This appointment aligns with our President's vision for a united ECOWAS," Dikko stated.
Dikko highlighted Chelle's impressive track record with the Malian national team, emphasizing his understanding of African football and his ability to deliver results quickly. He urged all stakeholders to support Chelle and the NFF in their endeavor to achieve World Cup qualification.
NFF President Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau echoed the sentiment, stating that Chelle's appointment was strategically chosen to enhance their chances in the remaining World Cup qualifiers. Chelle himself expressed his commitment to unleashing the attacking potential of the Super Eagles.
