Former international, Victor Ikpeba says it is important for the Super Eagles to grab the chance to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup through the playoffs.
Eric Chelles side failed to secure automatic qualification to the mundial despite a convincing 4-0 home victory over Benin Republic last week.
The three-time African champions, however, did enough to earn a place in the playoffs having finished second in Group C behind the Bafana Bafana of South Africa.
