He stressed how South Africa uses modern analysis and exploration tools to prepare for opponents.

“Then, for example, now, when they beat these people and South Africa, let me tell you one thing: they have all the devices. They have many explorers. If you see their videos, their analysis, all these things, they have them.

They have followed everyone from the beginning to the end. They have known their weak points; They have known their strengths and everything.

They have known where they would begin and where they would end. It is very, very difficult for us. “

Abdallah emphasized that Nigeria must also adopt the science of sport and video analysis to maintain rhythm.

“That whole team is very, very important. It is important for us to have all these things, to have someone, one or two people, who can do this job. Football has been scientifically now.”

His comments underline the growing importance of sports science and data in African football, since teams seek each competitive advantage.

It is against this background that most democratic countries  make constitutional provisions for a free press . Others even go further to enact specific laws to make affairs of governments freely available to the public. Currently, there are more than  130 countries in the world that have free press laws. They include Sweden, United States, France, South Africa and Nigeria. Nigeria did not only make  constitutional provisions in Sections 22 and 39(1) of the 1999 Constitution ( as amended) but also went ahead to enact the Freedom of Information Act  in 2011. Section 22 of the 1999  Constitution states: “ “The press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media  shall at all times be free to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this chapter( ie Chapter II) and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the Government to the people”  Section 39(1)  of same Constitution states : “Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference” ..  To complement these constitutional provisions, Section 1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) states “Notwithstanding anything contained in any other Act, law or regulation, the right of any person to access or request information, whether or not contained in any written form, which is in the custody or possession of any public official, agency or institution howsoever described, is established.” while Section  2(2), states that: “A public institution shall ensure the proper organization and maintenance of all information in its custody in a manner that facilitates public access to such information”  Primary Purpose of FOIA  According to the Act, its primary purpose is to make information about public records freely available to every Nigerian in the public interest. …
