…Squad get code of conduct booklets

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is leaving nothing to chance as it seeks an impressive performance at this year’s World Cup Finals in Brazil and better conduct by players and officials of all national team in the future.

Towards this end, the federation during the week in faraway, Atlanta Georgia, United States handed out the much-hyped hand book on code of conduct while in the national team to players and officials of the Super Eagles. The 18-page document clearly outlines what is expected of players, officials and even the federation during camping and major tournaments.

NFF president, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, in the company of chairman, Technical Committee, Barr. Chris Green and NFF director, Technical, Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme, came with the documents and handed them over to the team through team adminstrator, Dayo Enebi Achor, who has since distributed them to the players and officials of the team.

“The document is done in good faith and to ensure that players and officials know their obligations and how to properly conduct themselves, while the NFF will ensure that it also fulfils its own part of the bargain during major tournaments,” Maigari said.

The Nigerian delegation to the United States is expected back in Nigeria this evening after playing a goalless draw against the El Tri of Mexico in an international friendly preparatory to Mundial 2014 in Brazil.
