Nigeria's Super Eagles urged to work harder
LAGOS, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Regardless of its defeat of Ghana at the
opening of the LG Cup on Friday in the capital Abuja, some Nigerian
sports administrators including top officials of the main organizing
committee of the 8th All Africa Games (COJA) have urged the Super
Eagles to work harder.
COJA's General Manager Alhaji Mainasara Ilo on Saturday told
reporters that the Super Eagle need to work harder because the
Nigerian people hope for"a stronger Nigerian team to emerge".
Ilo said: "the Eagles played well even without the usual big
names. The new boys displayed some cohesion and understanding. It is
hoped that a strong team will soon emerge."
