"The game in Cape Verde wasn't an easy one bearing in mind that they have been unbeaten in their home soil over the past five years.
"With that in mind, they thought it was going to be business as usual when they scored first. But our boys fought back to level scores and got a deserved winner late in the game."
Sanusi continued : "We are assuring Nigerians that the NFF will do everything humanly possible to ensure that the Super Eagles qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.
"We give God the glory and we thank the Federal government and Nigerians for their support and prayers."

"We congratulate the NFF and Nigerians for the excellent results the Super Eagles recorded against Liberia and Cape Verde in the world cup qualifiers.
"These victories couldn't have happened by chance, they are obviously results of well planned preparations and determination of the NFF and the team.
"As we look forward to the rest of the matches, we want to urge the team not to relent,and to be cautious that nothing has been achieved until we qualify for the world cup.
"On our part we will continue to support the NFF, the Super Eagles and other national teams to succeed in all competitions" the SWAN boss stated
