The federal government has directed all ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to close by 1pm on Tuesday ahead of the second-leg clash between the Super Eagles and Black Stars of Ghana.

In a circular on Monday, Ngozi Onwudiwe, the service welfare officer, also called for the mobilisation of support for the Nigerian senior national team.

Onwudiwe added that all permanent secretaries should ensure the content of the circular is achieved as desired.

“As you are aware, the Super Eagles of Nigeria will be meeting the Black Stars of Ghana in continuation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier playoff (return leg),” the circular read.
