The national team have made good progress in the latest Fifa ranking published on Thursday, climbing four spots to number 60 in the world, which has pleased Mikel much.

The young Nigeria squad will send a big statement to the world if they can beat Algeria in next month’s World Cup qualifier in Uyo.
