On Friday, the Minister of Sports, Senator John Owan Enoh, stated that the Super Eagles are expected to win the trophy and emerge from Group A, which includes the host nation, Equatorial Guinea, and Guinea-Bissau. 

The Minister has also said that he will place much emphasis on grassroots sports development and revive headmasters sports competition in primary schools to hunt for talent 

The Minister said, after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while speaking to journalists, that all efforts will be made to rally the nation behind the Super Eagles for the required solidarity and support. He added that having massive home support can encourage the team to perform well. 

The minister noted that for a country that has not won the AfCON for a long time, Super Eagles have the desire to and determination to win again, “which means they must prepare very well.” 

Enoh announced that President Tinubu has approved a national campaign christened “Let’s Do It Again” to mobilize resources for the Super Eagles for a successful tournament. 

“By the time they know that the whole country is behind them, they will have added fire power. The country’s expectation is that they will win the cup and bring it back to Nigeria. That’s the idea of the campaign. It will be a morale booster,” he stated.
