”I am really happy to have got this call-up to Nigeria and I just want to make the most of it and play as long as possible,” Aribo said in a YouTube video via Super Eagles channel.

“I just do what I can for the team and make sure that we continue being the best that we can be.”

The midfielder will hope to make his first appearance for the three-time African champions against Shevchenko’s men in Dnipro.
