  The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to hold an emergency meeting to address the uncertainty surrounding the future of Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle. According to sources, Chelle is considering terminating his contract as the team's manager. The development comes amidst Nigeria's struggles to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With only seven points from six games, the Super Eagles are currently fourth in Group C, behind leaders South Africa, Rwanda, and Benin Republic. Pressure has been mounting on Chelle, prompting him to travel to Europe in search of reinforcements to bolster the team's defense. However, the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team has reportedly led to a change of heart, with Chelle now considering terminating his contract. The NFF's emergency meeting aims to address the situation and find a resolution. The fate of Chelle and the Super Eagles' World Cup qualifying campaign hang in the balance.

AT UN SUMMIT ON FOOD SYSTEMS, PRESIDENT BUHARI RESTATES COMMITMENT TO NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY.[PHOTO].#PRESS RELEASE

President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in New York reaffirmed the commitment of the Federal Government to attaining national food security.


The President told the  Food Systems Summit as part of the High Level meetings of the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, that Nigeria had developed a ā€œfood system focused development agenda that prioritizes healthy diets and affordable nutrition, inclusive, efficient, resilient, and sustainable, which will contribute to rebuilding our economy, creating jobs and spurring growth across sectors while sustaining our ecosystems.ā€

The Nigerian leader said the plan was the outcome of a wide range stakeholder-engagement geared towards a better understanding of their food systems, experiences and needs. 

According to President Buhari, ā€œfollowing the recommendations from the dialogues and our plan to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty within a decade, Nigeria is committed to: investing  in food security and nutrition knowledge dissemination, skillsā€™ development, and information management systems to enhance agricultural productivity; building  sustainable, responsive, and inclusive food systems;  enhancing the productivity of smallholder farmers and empowering women and youths for greater access to food production; while  strengthening climate mitigation strategies and conflict early warning systems that will reduce the many stresses and shocks to our food systems.ā€ 

The President commended the initiative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for convening the Summit, calling it ā€œa bold step towards achieving the 2030 global development Agenda at a time COVID-19 pandemic and its attendant consequences are  threatening progress.ā€ 

He stressed that as Nigeria works ā€œto transform our food systems and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda, we hope to learn from, and collaborate with Member States that have grappled or are grappling with food systems concerns similar to ours."

"We especially support the emerging coalitions of actions and sustainable food systems,ā€ he added.
