FG Sends ‘Supplies’ To Super Eagles Amidst AFCON Qualifier Crisis In Libya

FG has sent ‘supplies’ to the Super Eagles amidst the AFCON qualifier crisis in Libya.

 

Glamtush reports that the Federal Government said it has sent “necessary supplies” to the Super Eagles in the wake of the crisis between the team and the Libyan authorities.

 

In a statement by Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar on Monday, he said he had been monitoring the situation closely, and has temporarily sent some relief materials to the players.

The statement said, “I have been closely monitoring the situation involving the Super Eagles in Libya. Through the Head of the Nigerian Mission in Tripoli, Libya, Amb. Stephen Anthony Awuru, the Mission has maintained contact with the NFF, and the Libyan authorities since last night.

 

“Despite efforts, Libyan authorities have not yet authorized the Nigerian Mission’s trip to Bayda City, where the airport is located.

“In the meantime, the Head of the Nigerian Community in Benghazi, Mr. Morris Eromosele, arrived at the location at 6 am this morning with necessary supplies and internet access.

“We will continue to follow developments and await a report for further action.”

Tuggar’s response comes after a statement by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Communications Department on Monday, said the team were left unattended at the Al Abraq Airport.

The Eagles departed for Libya on Sunday morning, ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday 4 clash against the Mediterranean Knights.

Libya was to host the three-time African champions at the 10,000-capacity Martyrs of Benina Stadium in Benina, located just 10 kilometres from Benghazi, however, reports emerged that they were diverted to another city.

The Sports Minister, John Enoh also said he has escalated the ill-treatment meted out to the Super Eagles by the Libyan authorities to all concerned authorities.
