“wherever he puts me, I’ll be so excited to give my best.” – Ndidi
Austin Popo, a member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Players Status Subcommittee, has emphasized the importance of enforcing recommendations to improve player welfare in the country.
“We are committed to resolving as many disputes as possible.” – Popo
He continued, “We made it clear that it’s not just about making decisions. The problem has always been enforcement. If they’re not ready to enforce decisions this time, there’s no point in wasting our time.”
“I think we have a lot of serious-minded people in the committee, and we are doing a good job. We are committed to resolving as many disputes as possible.”
Rangers’ defender Kenneth Igboke is determined to capitalize on his maiden invitation to the Super Eagles squad and impress coach Finidi George.
“I have the confidence that it would be a worthwhile experience for me,” – Igboke
The left-back received his maiden call-up at the senior level ahead of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.
Igboke’s inclusion comes as a replacement for the injured Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen who pulled out due to injury.
“I am indeed delighted with this opportunity extended to me and I promise to make the best possible use of it to ensure that our country’s flag is hoisted at the next FIFA World Cup 2026. I feel so excited,” Igboke told Rangers media.
“I feel so happy to have been given this chance and I promise to be an excellent ambassador of my club, Rangers International FC and the NPFL, organizers of the league where we showcase our talent every week.
“I have the confidence that it would be a worthwhile experience for me and other home-based invitees to ensure we make room for more to be invited. With my fans’ and club members’ prayers and support, I shall defend our nation creditably.”
With Ola Aina not in the squad, Igboke stands a great chance of getting some minutes under his belt.
