Head coach of Nigeria's U-23 side, Samson Siasia, has expressed his anger over the failure of foreign-based players to report to camp early.
Siasia is currently preparing his team, towards the Suwon International tournament in South Korea, as the 2016 Olympics approaches.
The foreign-based players who are yet to report to camp are Stanley Amuzie, Azubuike Okechukwu, Usman Mohammed, Sodiq Popoola, Saviour Godwin, Taiwo Awoniyi and Nathan Oduwa.
In an interview with the NFF's official website, Siasia claimed that most of the boys were in town,but refused to report the Abuja camp.
"It is annoying that these boys have not placed the same importance myself and other members of the technical crew have placed on the Olympics", he said.
"I have information that aside from one or two players who are involved in their clubs' play-off games, the others have arrived the country but have just refused to report to camp. If they don't report to camp in time, how can I work on them to know their level of adaptability to my game plan? It's frustrating sometimes".
"Except for Saturday Keigo who reported to camp on Sunday, the others have not bothered to report".
