Nigeria’s Super Eagles where yesterday edged out of the race for a place in Gabon for the 2017 AFCON after a 1 nil loss to Egypt.
The Super Eagles who were stuck on two points after 3 games were not helped by the fact that they had been reduced to 3 teams in their group after Chad opted out due to financial constraints.
Sports Minister Solomon Dalung took to Twitter to offer his apologies on behalf of the Super Eagles.
In a series of tweets posted on his account @SolomonDalung, the Minister said the Super Eagles had no excuses and that the only thing they can do now is look to the future and find ways of improving.
I personally apologised to Nigerians for the inability of the Super Eagles to qualify for the campaign to AFCON. We must plan better again.

We have no good reason not to qualify if we had planned well and also organise ourselves rather it was crisis all the way rocking NFF

After this abysmal performance at AFCON qualifiers it’s important we return to the drawing board to plan the future of football in Nigeria

Nigerians cannot accept any reason for failure from anybody so we either deliver or we give way to those who can deliver success.
