President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday congratulated the Super Eagles on the team victory over Iceland in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Nigeria defeated Iceland 2-0 in both countries second group match played in Volgograd, Russia.
The President, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina expressed delight at the confidence, discipline, team-work and indomitable spirit displayed by the young Nigerian players.
He urged the players not to limit themselves but sustain the current winning momentum by going all out against Argentina in the final group match slated for next week.
He said: “I am confident that if our players believe in themselves, they can qualify out of their difficult group and even go very far in the tournament. With determination, nothing is impossible.”
The President urged Nigerians to continue to rally round the Nigerian ambassadors with their prayers and other forms of support.
Nigeria moved to within one win of the World Cup last 16 as Ahmed Musa scored twice in a dramatic second half to secure a 2 -0 victory over Iceland in Volgograd on Friday.
The African side will be sure of a spot in the knockout stage if they can see off Argentina on Tuesday, after Musa’s excellent double before a missed penalty by Iceland midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.
The result was also a boost for Lionel Messi’s Argentina , who are now back in the mix in Group D .
