Nigeria continue their preparations for the 2024 African Nations Championship with a pre-tournament friendly fixture lined up in Zanzibar.

Speaking in an interview, Nduka commended the warm reception his team received from the Zanzibaris.

On the team’s upcoming friendly match, the Remo Stars defender stressed the importance of the test game against Zanzibar.
“This game is one of those we use to assess our strengths and weaknesses. We’re playing Zanzibar tomorrow, but no one is really talking about them yet because we don’t have much information on them. That’s the current mood in camp.”
