Nigeria Football has gone beyond playing in one city for now, there are various reasons you take teams to various part of the country. It's good that Teslim Balogun is being upgraded but they need to do more just when we played at Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin, is good stadium but there still somethings that need to be put in place," he stated.
