According to NFF, the Eagles are expected to take part in a seminar on wealth creation, investment opportunities and portfolio management, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja on Tuesday afternoon, after-which they will meet with President Muhammadu Buhari later in the same day.
Nigeria will also play Czech Republic on June 8 before their first Group D game at the World Cup against Croatia on June 16 in Kaliningrad.
