Abu Dhabi friendly: Eagles’ players get December 30 deadline

Super Eagles tech­nical crew current­ly led by assistant coach, Dan Amokachi have sounded a note of warning to all invited home based stars for the now altered January 12 and 17 friendlies against Cote D’Ivoire and Su­dan, that they must re­port to the Bolton White Apartment, Zone 7, Abuja on Tuesday, De­cember 30, 2014. Ac­cording to a release by the team’s Media Of­ficer, Ben Alaiya, he stated that the warning was made by the team administrator, Dayo En­ebi Achor, who said he was making the clarifi­cations as some of the players were still think­ing that the team will converge last Sunday, December 28. “We have done a release from the NFF to that effect but we must again re-emphasis that the team will come together by January 30th and all players and offi­cials must take note”, he said.

Meanwhile, it was another memorable time for the national team at the weekend, as former Rangers International of Enugu winger and the MVP of the last CHAN tourney in South Africa, Ejike Uzoenyi, who now plays for South African top side Memolodi Sun­downs walked down the aisles in Enugu. He took his lovely heartthrob, Chioma Loveth Uzoe­nyi to the alter at an impressive ceremony in the Enugu State capital. And as has become tra­ditional with the NFF, the football federation was well represented with Chidi Nwantu, Dayo Enebi Achor, the national team adminis­trator, Okey Obi and na­tional team coordinator, Emmanuel Atta fully in attendance. “It was an impressive ceremony and the NFF will contin­ue to support its players who want to move to the next level, as this is the second wedding under a week and we are happy that our players are tak­ing the responsibility route,” Achor quoted the NFF President, Melvin Amaju Pinnick as say­ing.
