Abuja files. . .

Have been in Abuja since Sunday night. Was actually booked on a 2pm flight from Lagos, but got back slightly late from Church and didnt make it.
Nothing spoil, though. Re-booked on the 6pm, which gave me a chance to watch United claim the Community Shield over Chelski. Sweet. . .
Anyway, Monday has been tough but rewarding.
Was at the NFA office this morning and had long fruitful chat with Media Officer Ademola Olajire and Secretary General Bolaji Ojo-Oba.
Left to attend the opening of the NFL's Pre-season Seminar.
The highlight was a disappointing presentation on 'Corporate Governance' by Dr Amos Adamu. It was such a shockingly horrible presentation I was embarrassed.
This was Presentation 100: How not to.
Anyway, rounded up the day by watching the U23s and U17s play out a 2-2 draw and then interviewing Super Eagles coach Berti Vogts.
But I was happier with myself for able to get him to agree to a general press conference 2moro.
He didnt feel inclined to do it, preferring to speak to me. But I explained to him that others also needed access and he would be well-served doing it in one fell swoop.
He agreed. So 1pm Tuesday, it is then.
