Obasanjo exalts Nigeria U-20s (29.06.2005)
Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged the Flying Eagles, the country`s under-20 team, to win the World Youth Championship in Holland.
The president, who is in Holland on an official visit, hosted the team on Sunday night to congratulate the players for beating hosts Holland in a gruelling quarter-final tie.
Nigeria beat Holland 11-10 on penalties, after a 1-1 draw at the end of extra time.
"Please win this championship for the nation and on Tuesday against Morocco, the entire Nigerian nation will be behind you," Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo admitted that he
adjourned a state meeting in Abuja, Nigeria`s capital, until after the Flying Eagles` win on Saturday.
"We were having a state meeting in Abuja during the quarter-final clash but the meeting could not go ahead properly because all the cabinet members were itching to watch which had already started," Obasanjo said.
"I had no option but to call off the meeting, and when the penalties started everybody had their hearts in their mouth, I was happy we won."
Nigeria meet Morocco in their semi-final on Tuesday, while Argentina take on reigning champions Brazil in the other.
