The Nigerian Football Federation have named a 27-man squad to prosecute the international friendly games against Ghana and Mali later this month.

At just 21 years of age, this former Bendel Insurance defender recently transferred to Tanzanian side Ihefu Sports Club, and now, he finds himself on the brink of international stardom as he joins the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming friendly games against Ghana and Mali.
Born and raised in the ancient city of Benin, Tanimu's footballing journey has been nothing short of remarkable.
From humble beginnings at local football clubs in Benin City to recently catching the eye of national team selectors, his rise has been meteoric.
His time with Bendel Insurance served as the foundation for his burgeoning career, where he showcased his talent on the pitch.
Tanimu's transfer to Ihefu Sports Club marks the next chapter in his footballing odyssey, as he embarks on a new adventure in the Tanzanian football landscape.
The move not only demonstrates his ambition and determination to succeed but also underscores his potential to thrive on the international stage.
However, it is his call-up to the Super Eagles squad that truly solidifies his status as one of Nigeria's brightest prospects.
Joining the ranks of seasoned veterans and established stars, Tanimu now has the opportunity to prove his worth on a national level.
His inclusion in the squad speaks volumes about his talent and potential however, he is no stranger to international football as he is a youth international for Nigeria at U23 level.
For Tanimu, donning the green and white jersey of the Super Eagles is not just a dream come true but a testament to his dedication and hard work.
It is a momentous occasion that validates years of sacrifice and commitment to his craft.
As he prepares to step onto the pitch alongside his new esteemed teammates, Tanimu carries with him the hopes and aspirations of a nation, eager to witness the emergence of a new star.
