"Qualifying for the World Cup is still possible, and I want to assure you that we are going to fight it to the letter, and Nigeria are going to qualify for the World Cup.
"Very soon, you're going to see the major steps that the NFF will come out with. And by the grace of God, those major steps will lead us to qualify for the World Cup."
