Beyond School Resumption: Building Apt Environment For Learning

By Fred Nwaozor The last time I checked, the schoolchildren across Nigeria had graciously returned to their respective classrooms after the long vacation. As they return to school, attention naturally shifts towards creating the conditions necessary for a productive, safe and successful academic session. The responsibility for achieving this does not rest on the children alone.

Coach Chelle Names Troost-Ekong as Super Eagles Captain

In a move targeted to reshape the Super Eagles' formation, the Head Coach, Eric Chelle has made some significant changes to the team's captaincy structure, thereby naming William Troost-Ekong as the Captain of the Nigeria's national team.

The changes to the leadership structure were necessitated by the absence of Ahmed Musa and Kenneth Omeruo, who are not expected to be involved in the remaining World Cup Qualifiers games.

Musa, who had been the substantive captain of the team, is yet to announce his retirement, but it is clear he would not be playing a major role in the team's quest to qualify for the World Cup.

The Super Eagles are expected to make a strong start to their World Cup Qualifiers campaign when they take on Rwanda on 21st March 2025, at Amahoro Stadium in Rwanda.
