Imama will lead the Olympic team for U23 AFCON qualifier against Libya next month in the absence of Salisu Yusuf, who is under a ban.
“The Libya match is about the same time with the final AFCON qualifier against Seychelles and so both coaches will meet to plan on how to approach the games,” a top official told SCORENigeria
Imama will also meet with the NFF technical department on Monday in Abuja to discuss his programme for the qualifier against Libya, which will be played between March 20 and 26.
