The three-time African champions are preparing for the first of their doubleheader Afcon qualifier against Sierra Leone.

Nigeria host their West African rivals at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin on Friday, and they had their first training session on Monday evening. However, it was not the players that trained alone as they had Edo’s state deputy governor in their midst.

In a video shared on the team’s Twitter page, the players had a kick about with Edo’s number two man, who also urged the team to deliver a convincing performance on Friday.
