President of Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Musa Gusau has applauded the contributions of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President of the Senate, Chief Godswill Akpabio and Nigeria’s FIFA Member Amaju Melvin Pinnick as the Super Eagles wended elegantly and unapologetically into the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals in Cote d’Ivoire.

Gusau, ever modest and level-headed even in the midst of mass excitement and euphoria of Nigeria’s progress, told thenff.com that he would rather give credit for the team’s advancement to key individuals who have played major roles behind the scenes to spur the team to rise to higher heights.

Three-time champions Nigeria have cruised into the last four of the 34th Africa Cup of Nations, with solid performances against host nation Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Cameroon and Angola, following an opening day 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea.
