Former Nigeria international Friday Ekpo has commended the composition of players invited for October’s double international tourney against Civ and Tunisia with the inclusion of a number of burgeoning youngsters.
Ekpo speaking in a chat with brila.net said the invitation is a justification of the work put in to monitor the exploits of Nigerian players abroad hence the invitation.
He stressed that it will also serve the best interest of the national team of Nigeria to have these youngsters introduced.
“Firstly I want to commend the coach or coaches who have drawn this selection, it means they must have been watching them in and out and we have new breed younger generation among the older ones. So it’s a good start and good thing for Nigeria to always be having good quality players everywhere and more so they’re playing friendlies for their clubs.”
