On his return, we expect him to brief us on his plans for the friendly game against Ghana in England.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is also expected to submit his programme for the very important African Nations Cup qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea. These matches are so crucial for Nigeria and we expect Siasia to hit the ground running as soon as he gets to Abuja&#8221;, added Olajire, who said that the NFF would offer Siasia all he needs to qualify the team for the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Siasia has the full support of the NFF in his bid to successfully guide the Super Eagles to the Nations Cup finals in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
