Nigeria's 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winner, Peter Rufai, has expressed his delight at the Super Eagles performances during their recent AFCON qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda, Soccernet.ng reports .
The Nigerian national team, led by interim coach Augustine Eguavoen, secured four points from two matches, beginning their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign on a positive note.
In stark contrast to the disappointing results under former head coach Finidi George, Nigeria started the international break with a commanding 3-0 victory over Benin in Uyo.
This was followed by a goalless draw against Rwanda in Kigali, where the Super Eagles had multiple chances to win, including an Ademola Lookman goal controversially ruled out.
Rufai, a former goalkeeper for the Super Eagles, was impressed with the team's discipline and improved performance under Eguavoen.
