Eldred Sunju-Abbey explained that it is very important for the growth and development of African football for footballers, coaches, officials and fans to enjoy relative security and safety at match venues.
He reached out to Coach Mansur earlier and equally relayed ACC’s unreserved support, easy and speedy recovery wishes to him and his entire team members.

He added that situations such as the recent one in Malumfashi are boorish, uncouth, rearward and anti-progressive, and should not be found in football.

Coach Mansur Abdullahi is a respected top official of African Coaches Connect, the Assistant General Secretary of The Nigerian Football Coaches Association and a Nigerian National Team Coach.
