The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has appealed to teeming Nigerian soccer not to attribute inability of the country's football players to win any award at the just concluded GLO- CAF Award to lack of focus to develop the sports.
Its Secretary General, Bolaji Ojo- Oba, who revealed this in an interview with sports correspondents, said the move should not be seen as bad administration but as a challenge to further take the sport beyond its present position.
Ojo - Oba, said the latest FIFA rankings whih placed Nigeria twenty one in the world was an indication that the football is progressing in Nigeria and that the qualification of Nigeria for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa was an indication that Nigeria is a force to reckon with among the comity of football playing nations.
He said some of the countries that won awards at the Glo - CAF Awards could not meet the feat Nigerian teams had achieved in football, adding that Nigeria was a country to beat in any organised competitions.
