Super Eagles and Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi paid a courtesy visit to Sports Minister, Senator John Enoh in his office in Abuja on Wednesday.
Accompanied by his manager, Yahaya Atom, and Mr. Yemi Idowu, Ndidi commended the Senator for his excellent care and assistance provided to the team throughout their campaign.
Senator Enoh extended his congratulations to Ndidi on Leicester City’s promotion to the English Premier League, acknowledging the midfielder’s contributions to the team’s success.
He encouraged Ndidi to continue to exhibit the same level of dedication and skill that has made him a valuable asset to both club and country, urging him to be prepared to be willing to contribute significantly to the Super Eagles’ efforts to secure their spot in the World Cup to hold in USA, Mexico, and Canada in 2026.
Wilfred Ndidi was not part of the Super Eagles team in the last AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire having suffered a muscle injury and was replaced by Alhassan Yusuf.
The 27-year-old was one of the key absentees at the recent AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, where the Super Eagles went all the way to the final against the host nation.
Both club and country suffered in the absence of the midfielder considered by many as one of the two world-class players in the Super Eagles setup, with the other being Victor Osimhen.
Frank Onyeka was the only recognized defensive midfielder for the Super Eagles at the AFCON thereby forcing Alex Iwobi to double up defensively.
The Super Eagles Midfielder who recently gained promotion with Leicester back to the English top-flight league is in Nigeria for the off-season break.
