The three-time African champions are yet to record a win in Group C, with three draws and one defeat from their opening four four games.
The NFF also called on Nigerians to support the team.
“The executive committee charged the players to go all out for the six points in both matches to boost Nigeria’s qualification hopes,” reads a communique at the end of the NFF executive meeting.
“It also called on all Nigerians to support and encourage the team in whatever fair and proper way they are competent to, in order to guarantee victory in both matches.”

Until nff and press stop promoting some lazy players, this team cannot achieve anything. For me Ndidi is one of the greatest problem in the national team, that eagle are chasing every game because they must concede first is because Bassey is a lousy player who must play a very tough defender to cover up his mistakes, pesseiro observed it after only one match in the last nation cup, he quickly changed the system that made play five defenders, them if our stickers get a goal, we won with it. Yet he did not have the boldness to change a floppy iwobi because people will shout, but onyeka was a beast through out the tournament, drag Nigeria even till the final. I am even more surprise when even some people calling maduka to replace nwabali, that guy focus on his club football, he has nothing to offer Nigeria, Nigeria has the best out strickers in osihmen, lookman and Simon, chukwueze is a very uncomitted player, press is over praising most of this average players, that has nothing to offer. African football is very different from European one. I can bet my money if Ndidi is not injured and if the coach did speedly reverse to 5:2:3 formation, Nigeria should have gone in that last nation cup at the group stage. Until press stop over praising these average players, and players are being called based on their performances, because I am still asking why Balogun is being dropped from national team, now onyeka also, in the makeshift midfield, for me only Yusuf I see as a very committed player in that squad, onyedika to me, not too good, iwobi is Inconsistent. For me Frank onyeka, Dele bashiru and Olawale supposed to be regular in our modern day football. I wish Nigeria will learn from their mistakes
