"The Nigeria Football Federation Board can still review the situation after the Nations Cup in Angola if Amodu's performances at the Nations Cup are not to our satisfaction.

"Again, if the case of the need for a Technical Adviser comes up, we will sit, talk and take a decision that will be in the interest of the nation's football and the nation", Gyebgon stated.
