Super Eagles will on September 5 in Dar es Salaam face the Taifa Stars of Tanzania.The match will serve as the first text for Coach Sunday Oliseh since he was handed over the national team job.

Nwosu told Saturday Mirror that there is need for the Super Eagles gaffer to use the best players in camp to prosecute the match even as he expressed optimism that the team is capable of beating Tanzania in their home ground.“I have no doubt that Nigeria will pick the maximum point in Tanzania but there is the need for the team to remain focused ahead of the match.“As this is the first match to be handled by Oliseh since his appointment, I expect him to approach it with all seriousness because anything in the contrary will affect the country’s qualification for Gabon 2017”, said the former New Nigeria Bank of Benin player.On the exclusion of Mikel Obi from the encounter, the former New Nigeria Bank of Benin and ACB of Lagos midfielder noted that it is unfortunate that the Chelsea midfielder will not be in action for the country in Tanzania but was quick to advise Oliseh and Mikel to settle their differences in the interest of Nigerian football.
