able to qualify the Super Eagles for the 2018 World Cup. This is because
it cannot afford to send its players to Zambia for the qualifying match
that is slated for the 9th of October 2016. This has been attributed to
the oil price crash that has now triggered a recession in the country
and is appealing to well-meaning Nigerians to please provide
sponsorship.

suspended for about 6 months now, says it can’t afford to fly its
players to Zambia for the next month’s 3rd round qualifier and according

our purse” he also added that they were appealing to telecom giant
