The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has revamped the technical leadership of its male youth squads, naming Abdu Maikaba as the new head coach of the U-20 Flying Eagles and Eboboritse Uwejamomere to lead the U-17 Golden Eaglets. These selections emerged from a broader reorganization of the backroom staff across the nation’s age-grade teams. Maikaba brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously managed top-tier domestic clubs and served in various capacities within the national team structure, including a stint as an assistant during Paul Aigbogun’s tenure with the U-20s.
A formal statement released by the governing body on Thursday confirmed the administrative changes following high-level deliberations.
“The Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation has endorsed the recommendation of the Federation’s Technical and Development Committee for the appointments of Abdu Maikaba and Eboboritse Uwejamomere as head coaches of the U20 and U17 Boys National Teams,” the NFF announced.
