The Nigeria Football Federation seems to be bent on making life very comfortable for the newly appointed Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh. Firstly, they have given him free hands in the choice of players to feature in matches. Then like an icing on the cake, they have recently purchased a Nissan Altima — 2.5 SL 2015 model for him.

This purchase was confirmed on Wednesday by the NFF via Twitter. They also added that the said car was delivered at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja after it was purchased. “Sunday Oliseh’s Nissan Altima 2.5 SL 2015 model car has just been delivered at the NFF secretariat,” the NFF tweeted with a picture of the parked car.

The 2015 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL is valued at about N6.5m by dealers. It had been learnt also has also that the coach’s official residence in Abuja is being given finishing touches and would soon be ready for him to move in.

Since taking over the reigns of authority in the Super Eagles, Oliseh’s first assignment with the national team is the match against Tanzania on September 5 in Dar es Salaam, which is part of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nation qualifiers.

The Tanzania Football Federation on Monday confirmed that the match between the Taifa Stars and the Eagles would come up at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on September 5.

A mail from the Tanzania Football Federation President Jamal Malinzi to the Nigeria Football Federation also confirmed that the game would be played on natural grass, and that the match would kick off at 4.30pm local time (2.30pm in Nigeria). The NFF gave the details on the official website of the federation on Wednesday.

The Super Eagles defeated Chad 2-0 in Kaduna in their first match played in June to place second behind the Pharaohs of Egypt in Group G. The North Africans have one goal advantage having beaten the Tanzanians 3-0 the same weekend. This means the coach has his job cut out for him. A loss at Tanzania will see the Super Eagles moving farther away from top of the table.

Oliseh has 19 home-based professionals in camp in Abuja and has also called 18 overseas-based players, led by Eagles goalkeeper and skipper Vincent Enyeama. The team training in Abuja on Tuesday had all the home-based players in attendance with the former Nigeria captain in charge.

The NFF has also confirmed that it has finalised all arrangements with regards to the trip to Tanzania. The NFF boss, Amaju Pinnick, told newsmen that the flight had been paid for since early August to avoid hitches. The delegation will fly out from Abuja aboard the chartered aircraft with a return trip routed to Port Harcourt where the Eagles will play the Mena of Niger Republic in an international friendly on September 8.

The NFF officials have not stated clearly the players that will face the Nigeriens. The outlook was that the home-based players, who will be preparing for their qualifying games in the African Nations Championships, would form the bulk of the team
