Former Nigeria international and member of the Nigeria Football Federation Technical study group Friday Ekpo has stated that Nigeria’s absence from the ongoing Africa Nation’s Championship in Cameroon should be a great lesson for Nigeria’s Football, the league organisers and Footballers.
Ekpo speaking in a chat with brila.net said the failure of the team to make the gathering of the finest home based players in Africa should henceforth guide our scouting system in the league and on the engagement of coaches who will be ready to pick the very best legs in the league on merit and also work on nurturing such players for a spot in the senior national team proper.
“For us not been there it should be a great lesson for us and then make sure that our league is okay and the players we will begin to pick the best of the players. We must have a coach who watch not based on favuoritism or whatsoever but one ready to pick the best of the players because they are good and you find them, know how to build them up so that we have the very best of Nigerian players coming into the national team.”
