Sports Minister John Enoh demands accountability from NFF after Super Eagles' lackluster World Cup qualifiers. Fans are concerned as the team secures only one point. Urgent call for transparency and detailed report on Nigeria's football performance.
The Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh, has demanded a comprehensive technical report from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) following the Super Eagles' disappointing performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Diana-Mary Nsan, the minister's special assistant on media, released a statement in Abuja on Monday detailing the minister's dissatisfaction with the team's results. Despite substantial support from President Tinubu and high expectations from Nigerian football fans, the Eagles only secured one point from their recent matches—a 1-1 draw with South Africa and a 2-1 loss to Benin Republic.
Minister Enoh stressed the need for accountability, asserting that the NFF must explain the reasons behind the team's poor showing and justify why there should not be consequences for the disappointing performance. He highlighted the passionate support of Nigerian football fans, emphasizing their right to know why the national team has not met expectations since the last AFCON.
Enoh's call for a detailed report underscores the urgency for the NFF to address the issues hindering the team's performance and restore confidence among football enthusiasts in the country.
