NFF reacts to Emenike retirement from National team

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have reacted to to the resignation of Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike from the national team, saying they are yet to receive any official communication from him. 

Emenike chose to announce his retirement from the national team via Instagram saying “No more Eagles career! After five great years, I am happy to announce that I have put full-stop to my national team career for the sake of national peace.”

"I just heard of it but there is no official confirmation from the player in question, so for us it is mere speculation. However, I also agree that it is the right of any player to play or not to. Our concern as a federation is how to build a formidable team for Nigeria," Sanusi said to Vanguard.

Sanusi who refused to draw comparison with the recent retirement of goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama added that the NFF will not discuss issues of players and coaches in the media
