I received the passing of Peter Rufai as a rude shock. It’s a great loss to Nigeria football community.
Is not just a great loss to Nigerian football, but to the global football community.
He was a true icon, a 1994 AFCON winner, and a role model for many.
His passion and dedication to the game will be deeply missed.
We at the National Institute for Sports extend our deepest sympathies to his loved ones during this difficult time.”
Nigeria has lost a legend. Peter Rufai’s contributions to the Super Eagles and Nigerian football, in general, are undeniable.
His performances, especially at the 1994 AFCON, inspired a generation. We mourn with his family and the football family. May his soul rest in peace.
