Super Eagles Treatment in Libya: Nigerian Senate’s Response
The Nigerian Senate has called on the Libyan government to issue an official apology to Nigeria following the recent incident involving the Super Eagles.
The request came after the Nigerian football team faced issues during their stay in Libya for an international match.
Reports suggest that the Nigerian national team was subjected to poor treatment, including inadequate accommodations and security lapses.
The Senate expressed disappointment over how the Super Eagles were handled during their stay and travel in Libya, stating that it was a disrespectful gesture towards Nigeria.
The lawmakers emphasized that Nigeria, as a football powerhouse in Africa, deserves respect and appropriate treatment when their national team is traveling abroad for official engagements.
In addition to calling for an apology, the Senate also urged the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take diplomatic action, ensuring that such incidents do not recur.
The situation has sparked debates on how African teams and athletes are treated during international competitions.
