Former Nigeria international, Benedict Akwuegbu has commended the Super Eagles and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after reigning supreme over their West African neighbour, Ghana at the Unity Cups tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Nigeria and Ghana ignited an electric atmosphere at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford on Wednesday, with the Super Eagles coming out tops in a sweet 2-1 victory that sprung them into Saturday’s final.

Akwuegbu, who seized the opportunity to laud the NFF's leadership under Ibrahim Gusau said the various cadre of Nigeria's football is witnessing tremendous progress.

The former Super Eagles Star, who doubles as the Consultant of Plateau United, urged the Plateau State Governor to give the team the needed support in the NPFL.

 "The match was good. Ibrahim Gusau is doing a good job. We can also see our league is very good, the officiating is good, the premier league, NNL is good. He should keep it up.

"It was a fantastic roundup for Plateau United and the GM is doing a good job. I am the Consultant to the team and I am so happy with the performance of Plateau United.

"Despite the three points they deducted from us which is not supposed to be. The governor should give the GM the support and I am sure next season, Plateau United will end in the top three."
