NIGERIA, which last month objected to a Confederation of African Football offer to co-host the African Nations Cup next year, has now accepted the offer.
Chief of General Staff Vice Admiral Mike Akhigbe said before the start of a World Youth Championship match in Ibadan late on Sunday that Nigeria was looking forward to co-hosting the competition with Ghana.
Nigeria has recently spent 110 million dollars on upgrading its stadia for the FIFA World Youth Championship which opened on Saturday.
