Meanwhile President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Super Eagles of Nigeria for keeping hope alive in the competition by winning all their group matches and advancing to the second round of the tournament in grand style.
The president urged the Austin Eguavoen-led team to maintain and even surpass the terrific form that made them leaders in the group stage.
He said Nigeria hopefully looked forward to a total of seven emphatic wins in the competition.
Buhari said he trusted that the positive reputation of good sportsmanship the travelling fans, sportswriters and the football team demonstrated in Cameroon would continue to enliven the importance of sports, particularly football, as an enabler of development, peace, tolerance, friendship and cooperation.
The president wished the Super Eagles the very best, pledging that his administration would continue to support the efforts of international, regional and national football organisations to use sport as a tool to build a better and peaceful world.
