The sum of N2 million was spent by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on each player of the U-17 National Team (Golden Eaglets) picked for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test.
An impeccable source revealed to SportingLife that a total of 40 players underwent the test last week at the National Hospital in Abuja.
The figure when broken down showed that N50,000 was spent on a player that took part in the last screening exercise held in Calabar, Cross Rivers last month.
"Unfortunately we are still expecting the results. We had expected that by now it would have been out since we have just this month and August to prepare for our qualifiers," said the source.
The results maybe next week. However, there are fears that some players may fail the test which Eaglets Chief Coach, Manu Garba has dismissed.
"It is not right for people to discredit the MRI test. The test has been medically approved by professionals in the medical world. 40 Eaglets are still awaiting the result of the test. The players I took for test are 17 years and below," the coach was quoted in some dailies.
