Jonathan visits Eagles during training at the
National stadium President Goodluck Jonathan during his visit to the National stadium in Abuja on Wednesday urged the Super Eagles to work towards success in their game in Moronvia on Saturday. The National Team are billed to play against
the Leone Stars of Liberia in a qualifying
match for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in
South Africa. They are currently undergoing training at the
National Stadium in Abuja. Jonathan encouraged the players to work
hard to ensure they do well in the match and
disclosed that he had already set up a special
committee at the Federal Executive Council
meeting earlier in the day to look at how the
lost glory of the nation’s sports could be restored. While calling for a re-enactment of the
Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games where Nigeria
won the football event, Jonathan said he
believed that Nigeria could still win gold in
that category and others at subsequent
Olympics. The President expressed his displeasure over
the poor state of the stadium which was
overgrown with weeds at the time of his visit. He therefore ordered the management of the
stadium to correct the anomaly immediately
