President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Super Eagles of Nigeria on their qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon following the score draw against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Johannesburg, Saturday.

He equally commends the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Supporters Club, especially Nigerians residing in South Africa who turned out in great numbers to cheer the players, for a job well-done, and assures them of the unflinching support of the Federal Government going forward.

The President wishes the young Nigerian football ambassadors more successes as they prepare for the AFCON tournament in Cameroon.
