President Jonathan Visits Super Eagles At Training Ground by semid4lyfe(m): 9:34am On Sep 06, 2012





President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday stormed the National Stadium, Abuja, where he urged members of the national football team, the Super Eagles to ensure that their encounter with Lone Stars of Liberia in Moronvia on Saturday was a huge success.

The Super Eagles who are undergoing training at the Abuja Stadium will be meeting with the Liberian national team in a qualifying match for the 2013 African Nations Cup, South Africa 2013.

Jonathan implored the players to work hard to ensure they do well in the match, saying sports was strategic in his administration's agenda and promised that he would revamp the sporting sector.

According to the president, he has already set up a special committee at the Federal Executive Council meeting earlier in the day to work towards restoring the lost glory of the country's sports.

Calling for a replay of the Atlanta 1996 Olympics Game in which the country carted away gold medal in football, Jonathan expressed belief that Nigeria could still win gold in that category and others in subsequent Olympics.

Lamenting over the poor state of the stadium which was overgrown with weeds at the time of his visit, Jonathan directed the management of the stadium to correct the anomaly immediately.

Nice. . .good morale booster for the team. Not sure but I don't recall any other Nigerian President visiting a Nigerian team preparing for a match/competition in training.

Kudos Mr President. Your head dey there kiss

What are they training for? Is there any match on hand? I thought they've been banned by FIFA or disbanded by the government. I never knew we still had a male team.

I hope it was because the stadium was en-route some destination of some other event...otherwise why would the VP have to tag along?

undecidedGEJ always going to places you are not need. Please try going to places that needs ur urgent attention. e.g Benin/Ore road, Collaped or about to collape bridged, Flodded area etc. That will make Nigerian really proud of you and have faith in your Government.

Mr. President:

Keep doing what you know you should.
Ignore the the faceless critics who will always shout for A if given B and will demonstrate for B if given A.
