The Federal Government yesterday night ordered the closure of government-owned offices in Abuja by 1 p.m today, March 29, 2022, in support of the Super Eagles’ World Cup qualifying match against the Black Stars of Ghana.

FG reiterated the need to mobilise support for the Super Eagles.

“There is a need to mobilise support for the Nigerian Team. Consequently, I am directed to inform you that all offices will be closed at 1 pm on Tuesday, March 29, 2022,” the memo read in part.
Nigeria and Ghana clash at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday evening in what is perhaps the most anticipated and potentially –explosive encounter in the two countries’ 71-year, 58-match rivalry, after the opening 90 minutes in Kumasi on Friday ended scoreless.
