What Gusau said

Gusau confirmed that the NFF and the National Sports Commission (NSC) are collaborating closely to ensure the three-time African champions are fully prepared for their crucial match against Gabon. 

"Everything is being done by the NSC and the NFF to see that nothing is left to chance. No stone will be left unturned," Gusau stated in an interview with NFF media. 

"That special spirit that saw the team rise to the occasion and score the four goals they actually needed against the Bénin Republic on the final day of the qualifiers will propel the team to victory in the play-offs."
