…Warns Eagles Against Complacency
By Mercy Gadia Adi
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Sports, Hon. Kabiru Amadu, has cautioned the Super Eagles against complacency as they prepare for their quarterfinal fixture at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), urging the team to remain focused on the ultimate prize.
Amadu’s admonition came after Nigeria’s commanding 4–0 victory over Mozambique in Monday night’s Round of 16 clash, a performance that underlined the team’s attacking strength and depth.

Victor Osimhen struck twice to lead the rout, while Ademola Lookman, who emerged Man of the Match, scored once and provided two assists. Akor Adams completed the emphatic win with Nigeria’s fourth goal.
Commending the players and technical crew for their dominant display, the lawmaker, who represents the Gusau/Tsafe Federal Constituency, praised the team’s cohesion and versatility but warned that tougher challenges lie ahead.
“The Super Eagles players and the technical crew deserve commendation for their display in the second-round match against Mozambique,” Amadu said.
“The team is well composed, and the quality within the squad means goals can come from any department, making it difficult for opponents to contain Nigeria.”
He, however, stressed that the team must remain disciplined as the tournament enters its decisive phase.
“The job is not done yet. The team still has three matches to win before lifting the trophy. They must remain focused and avoid being carried away by the victory,” he added.
Amadu also reaffirmed the support of the National Assembly and the Federal Government for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the players, and team officials as the Super Eagles continue their push for continental glory.
