Sports Minister John Owan Enoh has spoken for the first time on the outburst by Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in which he disrespected coach Finidi George.
The Sports Minister told Eagle7 FM Radio that he ordered the NFF not to make a pronouncement on the matter until they have heard from Osimhen.
“There has been a plethora of opinions on this,” he said.
“Osimhen is a Trojan for Nigeria, but it was a low.
“I told the NFF not to make a pronouncement on this before they have engaged Osimhen.
“This is so especially because these are not the best of times for Nigeria football and we have to manage a lot of things.
“The NFF have to be focused and not be distracted.”
