The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Kano State chapter, has congratulated Abdu Maikaba on his appointment as head coach of Nigeria’s U-20 men’s national team, the Flying Eagles, by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
This is contained in a statement on Friday in Kano by the association’s Secretary, Muhammad Nur-Tijani.
Mr Nur-Tijani described Mr Maikaba as a seasoned tactician who previously managed the Golden Eaglets and served as assistant coach of the Flying Eagles under Paul Aigbogun.
He recalled that Mr Maikaba had also handled top clubs including Enyimba, Wikki Tourists, Kano Pillars, and Plateau United.
