Oliseh: Enyeama Not Civil Servant by manuch(m): 9:33pm On Jun 28, 2015
Former Nigeria captain Sunday Oliseh has frowned at the manner in which his country's football governing body is handling the issue involving goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.


The Nigeria Football Federation last week summoned the Super Eagles captain and goalkeeper before a disciplinary committee for what it described as "unguarded comments" to the media over its choice of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna for their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad earlier this month.


Enyeama did not turn up before the committee on the claims that he did not receive any official notification of such and did not respond to an earlier query given by the NFF. Reports in Nigeria now suggest that the LOSC Lille Metropole goalkeeper could be sanctioned.
But Oliseh is of the view that Enyeama should be treated as a professional footballer and not a civil servant under the full employ of the football federation.
The former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund midfielder believes that Enyeama's view as captain of the Nigerian men's national team "should be respected."


"He is not a civil servant. Why are you querying him?" Oliseh asked in an interview with Brila FM on Friday.
"He is a professional football player, the captain of the team and simply aired his opinion and I think that should be respected.”
Oliseh, 40, further said it was wrong to crucify Enyeama, who he regards as "one of the best goalkeeper in the world."

Who takes NFF political criminals serious. Enyama should just ignore them and their foolishness. As far as i'm concerned, football should be scrapped in Naija till we get the likes of okocha, kanu & co again. l'm done watching eagles' dry, lethagic and lukewarm outings
