Ajilore said the players will resume closed camp immediately to work on some lapses observed during the qualifiers.

He said that the plan is to work towards winning a medal for the country.

“There is no time for the players to spare. Once we arrive Nigeria, the players will resume camp with the guidance of other assistant coaches to adjust some weaknesses.
