Nigeria’s 4th AFCON title in the bag, as excellent team leadership is restored to Super Eagles
By Harrison Jalla
The current Super Eagles Players have found a team leader. The grit, resilience, determination, courage and spirit to achieve is back to the team.
Team leadership is the most essential ingredient in building a winning team and it started in the Nigerian National team from the days of Christian Chukwu as Captain to Segun Odegbami, Stephen Keshi, Uche Okechukwu, Sunday Oliseh and Mikel Obi.
If the team leadership synergy is right you have a team on and off the field, But not all team captains are leaders in true sense of the word. A team leader is the master motivator, and when performance level drops his energy, motivation and drive can always be the turning point.
Chairman Christian Chukwu, Stephen Keshi of blessed memory and Sunday Oliseh were exceptional and played perfect roles as team leaders in the past.
The present set of Super Eagles have found the perfect leadership in William Troost Ekong/Victor Osimhen this right leadership chord makes the Job of the technical crew easier and gives the team an edge over any opponent.
Kudos to the entire Super Eagles team the Technical crew, Special thanks must also go to the President and Commander in chief of the Armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and the Hon. Minister of Sports Senator John Enoh for the timely provision of funds to clear backlog of outstanding and current match Bonus and allowances.
This moment in Nigeria Football must be sustained; the very reason why the entire Nigeria Football administrative structure must go through urgent reforms by amendment of the current NFF statute for proportional and equal representation while a constituency should be created for private sector participation.
Nigeria’s 4th AFCON title is already in the Bag. Congratulations Nigeria, Congratulations Super Eagles. May the Souls of the departed patriots who died following the match between Nigeria and South Africa find eternal peace and rest.
