"I started my career in Africa and I'm happy that it ended in an African country. After this tournament, I will now go home and meet my family who were also here today to see me play my last match for team. They were all happy to see me in Nigeria's colours and I'm so happy about it.

Government to register unemployed Nigerians

The federal government has concluded plans to develop adatabase of all unemployed persons in Nigeria, the minister of labour and productivity, Chukwuemeka Wogu has said.

The minister said registering the unemployed in the country is necessary because nobody knows the number of Nigerians that are unemployed and planning activity has been based on extrapolation. He said that when this is completed, employers will have easy access to labour while the platform will be very useful for all activities in economic planning.
