The Chairman, Edo State Sports Commission, Godwin Dudu-Orumen, has commended the Super Eagles of Nigeria for currently occupying the 33rd position in the latest FIFA ranking.
Making the commendation on Saturday in Benin, Dudu-Orumen told the News Agency of Nigeria that the team needs a better technical crew to sharpen sports activities.

“I want to see good football during play and what we have achieved.
“The football authority should task the technical crew to give us a better performing team.”
Dudu-Orumen urged the technical team to come out with new approach to the game as a key factor to dominate in any continental tournament.
