Political activist, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, has said that the Nigerian Golden Eaglets under Coach Emmanuel Amuneke are on the path of glory.

The former president of the Ijaw Youth Council made this disclosure Saturday when he paid an unscheduled visit to the FIFA/NFF Goal Project in Abuja where the National Under-17 team handed a 7-0 defeat to Super Stars Academy at the weekend.

“Throughout his career as a footballer, Amuneke was known for being a disciplined player and I’ll advise that he should impact same on his players,” demanded Dokubo.

Coach Amuneke is expected to pick 20 players to prosecute the international friendly match against Egypt’s national Under-17 team in a double-header at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna on Wednesday and Friday.
