By Tosin Omojola

As the Super Eagles of Nigeria prepare to face the Amavubi of Rwanda in the final round of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, Uyo is set to become a hub of activity. Top dignitaries from Aso Rock and across the country are expected to converge on the city to support the team.

In a demonstration of his steadfast support for sports, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dispatched a delegation from the Presidential Villa to cheer on the Eagles and motivate them ahead of the game.

Nigeria has already secured qualification for the biennial tournament, scheduled to take place in Morocco next year.

Among the dignitaries expected at the match is Garba Murtala Tafida, the driving force behind the “Let’s Do It Again” campaign.

Tafida will be rallying behind the Super Eagles, urging them to approach the match with their characteristic determination and secure a victory against Rwanda in this sixth and final match of the qualifiers.

Meanwhile, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has sent his congratulations to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, and the entire NFF board for securing Nigeria’s qualification. He also extended his best wishes to the Super Eagles for success in Monday’s game.

Monday’s match, however, is a dead rubber for coach Austin Eguavoen’s side, as Nigeria has already clinched the top spot in Group D after an impressive performance in the first five games.

The clash against Rwanda will, therefore, serves as a formality, giving the team an opportunity to maintain their momentum.
