made the decision to retire from playing international football.

Super Eagles shirt and have memories with me that will last a
lifetime. Nothing will ever compete to what it felt like to represent
Nigeria on behalf of our country.

''However I feel that now is the right time to step away in order to
be able to focus fully on club career and my young family as well as
to allow the next generation of Super Eagles stars the opportunity to
step up and to flourish. We are blessed as a nation to have so many
exciting young players coming through and now is their time.

''There are so many highlights that stand out for me over the years;
from making my debut, to playing in two World Cups and being a part of
the team to win the African Nations Cup for first time for our nation
since 1994 being just a few of them.

''I have already spoken to the manager by telephone and would like to
say thank you to him and his staff, the NFF and all of my teammates
for all of their support over the years. Most importantly I would like
to say thank you to the Nigerian people for believing in me and
supporting me over the years. It's meant the world to me and my family
and I will always be a proud Nigerian supporting the team.

''Thank you for the memories and good luck to the team for the future 🇳🇬.''
