Abuja — The Board of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) rose from its meeting adopting the position of its Technical Sub-committee and the Coaches Association of Nigeria of Tuesday 24, that the Chief Coach of Super Eagles, Shaibu Amodu and his technical crew be retained for the African Nations Cup and FIFA World Cup, South Africa 2010.

Amodu's initial contract was to take the Super Eagles to at least the semi-finals of the Nations Cup but the board declared that if he fails to get to that stage, then it might reconvene to review the appointment.

A member of the board Shehu Adamu, who read the six-point communiqué said the recommendation is that "members of the Super Eagles' technical crew should be kept in their post for the Africa Nations Cup Angola 2010 and FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010. Equally, the camping of the Super Eagles in Namibia has been approved, to start from December 28, 2009.

"The Committee also approved plans for an extra-ordinary General Assembly of the Nigeria Football Federation to hold before the end of this year. It also approved the recommendations of world governing body, FIFA for amendments in its statutes, for drafting of the Electoral code, for elections that will take place next year", he said.

The committee also expressed sincere appreciation to all Nigerians, particularly President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, for their support in ensuring the Super Eagles qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
