Scribe of the Nige-ria Football Federation, Musa Amadu has said the manner of Super Eagles qualification for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa is a turning point for Nigerian football which the football house hopes to build on.

Speaking in Calabar after the Eagles 6-1 thumping of the Liberian national team, the Lone Star, an ecstatic Amadu said, “this is a victory for all Nigerians who trooped out in their thousands to cheer the Super Eagles.

“This is a turning point in Nigerian football and we hope to capitalize on this and give Nigerians what they really deserve. We are happy the Super Eagles have really become Super again.”

Amadu was particularly grateful to the government and people of Cross River State “for providing the platform where the national team rediscovered itself.”

He said the football house would not rest on its oars as “efforts to make the South Africa 2013 project  a success will be intensified. The main task of qualifying for the tournament has been achieved. What we need do now is going to work to ensure adequate preparation for the team before the tournament in January.”

The NFF scribe said the football house was aiming at the Afcon 2013 trophy as target for the team. “We won’t like to go for anything less,” Amadu said.
