Bassey commended Rivers United for their recent performance in the continent which resulted in the recognition of Nigeria at the ACA election,” Bassey was quoted by Sports Village Square.

“I want to thank most sincerely the Chairmen and General Managers of Bendel Insurance of Benin, Rangers of Enugu and Plateau United of Jos who asked me to go for the election and they stood by me.

“For Nigeria to be so recognised, kudos must go to clubs like Rivers United and others for their good outing in recent times on the continent.”

The Akwa United boss reveals his target for Nigeria clubs in his new role.

“My take away and the task ahead of me as 2nd Vice President of ACA is to bridge the gap between Nigerian clubsides and our colleagues from other countries.”

The ACA first election drew attendance from the CAF president, Patrice Motsepe and top administrators from FIFA.
