Jonathan To Honour NFF Officials

[Folami David]

President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR has pledged to honour members of the Executive Committee and Management of the Nigeria Football Federation with the much-coveted National Awards, acknowledging that the team has performed wonderfully since coming into office 38-and-half months ago.
.
While announcing cash rewards for players and officials of the U-17 National team, Golden Eaglets, that conquered the world for a record fourth time, at the FIFA U-17 World Cup finals recently concluded in the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria's leader praised the tremendous efforts of the present NFF team in winning major trophies now and again.
.
Indeed, the present Board of the NFF has broken grounds in several areas, winning seven trophies (four from major competitions and three from high- profile friendlies) within the past three years and ensuring positive mention for Nigeria internationally all the time.
.
In its 38-and-half months of existence, the Maigari- led team has played a total of 213 matches, winning 124, drawing 32 and losing 57.
.
The administration has also, through very mature approach laced with virtues of humility and strong character, maintained a very cordial relationship with the leadership of the National Sports Commission, while also establishing good rapport with Nigerian Missions abroad, which has rubbed off positively on the various National Teams and Nigeria's representative Clubs.
