The President of Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has however assured Nigerians that their contract issues will be resolved in September ahead of the next 2023 AFCON and Paris 2024 Olympics qualifying games.

“I have directed the Technical Committee of the NFF to do a thorough job and come up with recommendations that Nigerians would be happy about. We are on top of the situation as regards the Super Eagles coach. Nigerians will know our position before the match against Sao Tome and that would be based on the recommendation of the Technical Committee. We will come up with a decision that Nigerians will be happy about.
