Sikiru Alimi: Lobi Stars striker excited over maiden Nigeria B call-up for Togo tie

Lobi Stars striker Sikiru Alimi believes his invitation to the Nigeria B team for Sunday’s African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifying match against Togo in Lome is a reward for his hard work and dedication.

Alimi and two other players from Lobi Stars, John Lazarus, and Ebube Duru, are among the 20 players called up by coach Imama Amapakabo for the tricky tie away to the Sparrow Hawks.

The former youth international, who scored five goals in the last abridged Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season for Lobi Stars, told Goal during an exclusive interview that he is grateful for the chance he has been given to represent his country again.
