Former Ghana goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda, has praised the progress of Nigeria goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali.

The legendary Ghanaian shot-stopper played alongside Nwabali during his time in Nigeria with Enyimba FC.

Nwabali was then a young goalkeeper coming through the ranks when he met Dauda, who was already an established name on the continent.

The new Black Stars goalkeeper trainer helped groom and shape the career of Nwabali, who later moved to South Africa to continue his work. Dauda had spent years in South Africa, where he represented Orlando Pirates and Chippa United.

"We used to share the same locker room in Aba Nigeria in 2019, with the most successful club in Nigeria (Enyimba International Football Club), the People's Elephant. Keep on being a listener as always. Stanley Nwabali aka “BoBo” stay focused and keep pushing, I wish you all the best in your career," wrote Dauda on X, formerly Twitter.

Nwabali became Nigeria's first-choice goalkeeper at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, helping the West African nation to the final of the tournament, where they lost to the host nation.

The 27-year-old is set to leave Chippa United at the end of the season, as reported by the Nigerian Observer.
