Nigeria Football Federation on Monday rejected the hotel
accommodation reserved for the Super Eagles by their Kenyan hosts and
immediately set out to make alternative arrangement for the team.
The NFF Chief Media Officer Ademola Olajire said that the place named
680 Hotel was turned down because it did not meet the standard
expected.
He said on Monday, “The hotel is right in the centre of
town with so much noise around it. The Nigeria Football Federation and
the Nigeria High Commission are working on alternative accommodation for
the African champions.”
The Kenyans also complained about the
hotel accommodation they got while in Lagos during the first leg but
told The PUNCH that they were quite satisfied with the treatment they
got in Calabar where the match held in March. Both countries are billed
to meet on Wednesday in a 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifying match.
But
despite the disagreement over the accommodation provided, the NFF
official confirmed that the Federation of Kenya Football had made
arrangement for the Eagles to train at the Moi International Sports
Centre at 4pm on Tuesday, but would be willing to allow them use the
venue much earlier should Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi prefer a morning
work-out. The assurance was personally given by the FKF president, Sam
Nyamweya...Source: Naij News
