NIGERIA VS EGYPT: TOP-NOTCH SECURITY IN KADUNA

 Nigeria vs Egypt
– Security ahead of the Nigeria vs Egypt game in Kaduna looks good
– Fans continue to lurk around the stadium hoping to get into the arena.

Barely hours to the kick-off of the all-important 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Pharaohs of Egypt, there is a heavy presence of security men who have cordoned off the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, venue of the match. 

Men of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) as well as Nigerian Army officers are taking no chances at all, ahead of the game which is billed to kick-off at 4pm today March 25. According to a Super Eagles supporter who pleaded anonymity, he has been around the Stadium since 9am, but could not get the ticket. “I have been here since 9am, but i can’t find ticket.

The police won’t allow us get into the stadium. In fact, i was told the ticket was supposed to be free, but we cannot find it. Someone just told me he bought his own for N600,” he said. Not comfortable with the situation, fans were seen in groups around the popular Constitution Road, hoping to get the ticket to get into the arena.

Meanwhile, the president of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) Amaju Pinnick and some of his top ranking officials are full of praise for the Kaduna state government ahead of the game. Pinnick, alongside Shehu Dikko, his second vice president, Mohammed Sanusi, the general secretary and the national technical director Amodu Shuaibu watched the Super Eagles train Wednesday March 23 evening and were left impressed with the state of the pitch and the attitude of the fans.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
