The Ministry has consequently directed the Federation to appear for an emergency meeting on Monday, April 4.

The outcome of the qualifying campaign led to the disengagement of the entire technical bench of the team led by Austin Eguavoen by the NFF but the ministry is not satisfied with the decision so far.
