Alhaji Aminu Maigari, President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has pledged the federation’s maximum support towards the Golden Eaglets qualification for the 2013 African Under-17 Championship to be held in Morocco.
Alhaji Maigari, who met with officials and players of the National Under-17 team at their Princeville Hotel Camp in Calabar on Monday, said the federation would not shirk its responsibility to the team even as he
promised them a special bonus package after their forthcoming Second round match against Guinea in Conakry in a fortnight.
On President Maigari’s entourage were NFF Board members, Chief Effiong Johnson (Chairman of NFF’s security committee), Hon. Suleiman Kwande (Beach Soccer Committee Chairman and member of the House Committee on Sports), Nasir Jibrin (Personal Assistant to the President) amongst others.
“I’m happy to be meeting you again and generally, we are so happy about all the things you have done since you started camping here in Calabar,” Maigari started.
“Though I have read and heard so much about this team, yesterday was the first time I saw you playing and I must tell you that I doubled my love for you.”
