"We will try our best as a team at all cost to represent Nigeria well. We want to make our football nation proud and though we are faced with a herculean task, we are looking forward to a better tournament in Senegal I must say", he added.

An optimistic coach Amapakabo concluded by saying that though they got to the finals of the last WAFU Cup and lost to the Black Stars of Ghana, his team remains focused and hopeful of a better outcome in the tournament.
