Sports Minister and Chairman, National  Sports Commission, Dr. Tammy Danagogo  has congratulated the national U-20 team, the Flying Eagles for qualifying for the final of the African Youth Championship holding in Dakar, Senegal after their 2-0 victory over Ghana’s Black Satellites.

The minister however, cautioned the Manu Garba-led side not to rest on their oars but put in extra effort until the final is won, stressing that it would be more honourable if they go to the FIFA U-20 World Cup later in the year as African Champions.

“The Flying Eagles have done Nigeria proud by not only qualifying for the FIFA U-20 World Cup but qualifying for the final of the African Youth Championship. Their qualification for the final is also remarkable as they beat our perennial rivals, Ghana.
