“Though, we did not win the ultimate trophy, nobody can deny that our girls made us proud in Canada.’’
The senate president urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to do all that was needed to keep the girls together so that they could mature into the senior female national team.
He enjoined the combatants at the “Glass House” to resolve their dispute so that the crisis would not affect the fortune of the country’s football that was now regaining momentum.
He expressed optimism that the growing momentum in the Nigerian football would be sustained and improved upon. (NAN)[eap_ad_3]
