Lulu calls for dedication
NFA Chairman, Sani Lulu Abdullahi has called on Super Engle players and their officials to be more dedicated so that together "we can take our football to higher level in the New Year".
In his New Year message, the NFA chairman told KICK OFF on telephone from Abuja "that with God Almighty enabling us to see the New Year, it is important that all hands should be on deck in 2007 so that collectively we can make Nigeria soccer what it should be in Africa and World Football."
He thanked the committed and patriotic members of the Super Engle, "who answered our calls for pressing assignment last year," and appeared to the rest to show more commitment to the cause of lifting football which is enjoying pre-eminence ever with FIFA.
Lulu described the high rating of Nigeria soccer as "realistic" adding, "our target in the new year should be to ensure we work towards reaching the height we attained in 1994 and possibly surpass it."
He thanked his board members for their support and he expressed the hope that, "we have men and women with vision in the board who can take our game to the level expected of us, and possibly beyond."
