The Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has commended the home-based Super Eagles despite their loss to Morocco in the final of the African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The home-based Super Eagles were thrashed 4-0 by Morocco, who became the first country to host and win the competition.
Dalung in Morroco on Monday further disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari is satisfied with the team’s performance despite all odds.
Dalung said, “Looking at the history of Nigeria’s participation in CHAN, this is the fifth edition and this is the first time Nigeria played at the final. Our team did very well, despite all odds.
“We believe that even if we had lost, it shouldn’t have been the way we ended. We are also satisfied with the performance of our boys.
“I spoke with them before leaving Casablanca and expressed the satisfaction of the President and Commander-in-chief of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari to the team.”
“There are also some technical amendments that need to be addressed, this will also be discussed with the coach of the team but on the average coming second in Morocco is commendable.”
