Super Eagles Gaffer: Stephen Keshi
The Nigerian Football Federation has directed that henceforth the Technical Director of the Federation would oversee the invitation of International players for Super Eagles assignments. This comes on the heel's of the query from to the NFF to Keshi on the invitation of a certain Gabriel Okechukwu who was even listed with the Flying Eagles
but couldn't make the cut but was invited to Nigeria's most senior team and worse of all handed the sacred "No. 10 jersey" worn by great players of Nigeria. The NFF has therefore tried to clarify that the directive only removes or dispels keshi as having the autonomous decisions on who is invited.

According to NFF President Amanju Pinnick, director Amodu Shuiabu will supervise national team call-ups as the ‘big boss’ is also likely to work with the technical study group headed by ex-international Austin Okocha.
"Keshi will still have his input. The only people who are not really working well now is the technical study group because it is a process. He doesn't have the liberty anymore to say he wants to bring in players from places, said Pinnick.
"We must look at all the players [Keshi invites] and it must go through the technical department and Amodu [Shuaibu] will certainly make a comment. And like I told [Amodu], if anything happens we are not going to hold Keshi responsible but him because [he is] a part of it.” Nigeria has therefore started the Africa Cup of Nation Qualification on a good note after despatching Chad 2-0 in Kaduna, we just hope that these administrative issue dont burden the team and start causing rifts this early. Meanwhile Super Falcons of Nigeria coach, Okon has been blasted by a Former Coach also of the Super Falcons for failing at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015.
