NFF To Victor Moses"You Can't Win African Player Of The Year Without Super Eagles"

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has warned Chelsea wingback, Victor Moses, to be more committed to the national team or miss out on
winning the African Footballer of the Year award.

Moses reported to the team’s camp ahead of the friendly against Senegal, but
returned to the Premier League club, after claiming he was carrying a knock.

It is understood that coach Gernot Rohr was
visibly angry with the player , who had previously pulled out....

In an interview with The Guardian, NFF
President Amaju Pinnick, said: “Moses needs to
understand that with his current performance
with Chelsea, he stands a chance of becoming
the next African player of the year, especially if
his club should win the EPL title.
“But he needs to play regularly for the national
team to make such dream come true. To be
honest, Moses is one of the best African
players at the moment, but as I said, he needs the Super Eagles.”
Speaking further, Pinnick, who is expected to join the Super Eagles camp in London, revealed
he had a chat with Moses yesterday “and during
our conversation, Moses said that he actually
wanted to play in the friendly against Senegal
but for the injury. He is coming to see me
tomorrow (today) when I arrive in London.”
Moses was expected to feature in the second friendly against Burkina Faso, which has now
been called off.

Nigerian economy: A hole in my budget

Staring at the prospect of a recession for the first time in almost 30 years, Nigeria’s government is struggling to fund its budget, which it hoped would stimulate an economy that is reeling from the impact of low oil prices. A funding shortfall has kickstarted a debate about the future of key state assets. President Muhammadu Buhari has tabled a budget of N6.06 trillion (R260bn) for the 2016 fiscal year. The budget is partially funded by income from oil sales which have suffered since the beginning of the year following the return of attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta . Petroleum minister Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu says half of government’s expected income has been lost as a result of the disruption to oil production. To get around the problem (at least in the short term), it has looked for alternative ways to raise funds. And in a surprise announcement, it says it will consider selling government assets such as oil and gas plants, refineries, airports, rail lines and...
