Speaking to the press, the former Cameroon coach when quizzed about the Nigerian forward, he is most wary of responded,

"Obviously, the danger man is Ademola Lookman, but we are not focusing on that. We are focusing on our game. We have the ability, and we have proven that at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire."

The 72-year-old also addressed the absence of Victor Osimhen, emphasising that the forward's injury is more of a concern for Nigeria's coach, Finidi George, than for his own team.

Both African football powerhouses will clash at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
