The Super Eagles' former Coach and the Super Eagles former captain, Adegboye Onigbinde and Henry Nwosu respectively, have been drafted to assist Coach Okey Emordi of the home-based national team.
This drafting comes as Coach Okey Emordi prepares for the crucial African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against Ghana this weekend.
Chairman of the Nigerian Football Federation NFF, technical committee, Taiwo Ogunjobi, said that the duo were invited ONLY to provide quality advice for the team's technical crew.
This need for quality advice comes after a dismal outing by the Nigerian team in the first leg fixture held in Accra where Nigeria lost 3-2 after an initial 2-1 lead in the first half.
Nigeria is hosting Ghana's Black Stars to the second leg at the U.J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar this Sunday.
The winner will go through to the finals slated for Cote d'Ivoire, February 22 to March 8, 2009.
Meanwhile, all Premier League matches billed for this weekend has been postponed by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
This is primarily to guarantee that none of the Clubs are at a disadvantage with their players on national duty.
It also ensures that the players have full concentration on the national assignment at hand.
