Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh has summoned the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) under the leadership of Ibrahim Gusau over the recent poor performance of the Nigerian Super Eagles.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Enoh summoned NFF to demand a detailed technical report from the football governing body in the country on the Super Eagles’ disappointing results in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
This is contained in a statement issued on Monday by Diana-Mary Nsan, the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media.
The Super Eagles managed to secure only one point from a possible six, following a 1-1 draw with South Africa in Uyo and losing 2-1 to Benin Republic in Abidjan in its third and fourth game in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series.
These results leave the Super Eagles with just three points from a possible 12.
The Minister expressed dissatisfaction with the results, especially considering the support the NFF had received from the federal government.
“The recent results are unacceptable. In spite the immense support from President Bola Tinubu and the high expectations of Nigerian football fans, the Super Eagles have underperformed.
“The NFF must provide a comprehensive technical report explaining the reasons behind this poor showing, and give cause why there must not be consequences for the disappointment,” he said.
Enoh emphasised that Nigerian football fans demand and deserve answers and accountability from the NFF.
“Our supporters are passionate and devoted. They deserve an explanation for why our national team has not been performing to the expected standards since after the last AFCON,” he said.
