President Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau visited Super Eagles defender Olaoluwa Aina in London today. The visit aimed to extend personal encouragement and well-wishes for Aina's ongoing rehabilitation from a recent injury.
Aina, a versatile full-back for Serie A club Torino and a key member of Nigeria's national team, has been sidelined but is making steady progress in his recovery. Gusau, accompanied by select NFF representatives, met with the 28-year-old at his residence to assess his condition firsthand and reaffirm the federation's support.
During the meeting, Gusau praised Aina's resilience and dedication, emphasizing his vital role in both club and international football. "Ola's return to the pitch will strengthen the Super Eagles as we prepare for upcoming challenges," Gusau stated, according to an official NFF release. He also assured continued monitoring of Aina's progress and any necessary assistance to facilitate a full recovery.
Aina expressed gratitude for the federation's solidarity, noting on social media that the encouragement bolsters his motivation. Fans and pundits have lauded the initiative as a morale booster for the squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Super Eagles, three-time Africa Cup of Nations champions, continue to navigate a competitive qualification campaign, with Aina's swift return anticipated to enhance their defensive depth.
