announced that the Chairman of the Police Service

Commission and former Inspector-General of Police,

Mike Okiro, will be handed a Special Achievement in

Football award in Kaduna on Friday.

The third edition of the annual Nigeria Pitch Awards

will hold in Kaduna on Friday, with red carpet starting

at 8pm — an hour after the end of the Nigeria/Egypt

2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.

Also to be honoured, with the Sam Okwaraji Award,

is Super Eagles’ midfielder, Mikel Obi. The Chief

Operating Officer of Matchmakers Consult

International Limited, Nelson Olafisoye, told

thenff.com on Wednesday that the Chelsea of

England ace is the player with the highest number of

caps in the Super Eagles’ camp now, and therefore

deserved the honour.

 “We found out that Mikel has the highest number of

caps in the camp presently. That itself is a great sign

of commitment that should be applauded.”
