SUPER EAGLES STAR NDIDI BAGS UNIVERSITY DEGREE

Wilfred Ndidi, a midfielder for Nigeria, has graduated from De Montfort University in England with his first degree.

The Leicester City midfielder revealed this in a video interview with Football Daily explaining that the degree will afford him more options outside football.

Ndidi explained that the knowledge in business and management would come in handy as he plans to get into business after he retires from playing.

He said, "Yeah, am done. did like a 10-course class which can enrol me into a proper university degree."

Back in 2019, Ndidi was interviewed by Sportsmail and spoke extensively on his desire to pursue education while still being an active footballer.

"I have spare time, so instead of sitting and playing FIFA, it's good to understand the four walls of schooling," Ndidi told Sportsmail.

In a video interview with Sport Daily, the Leicester City midfielder confirmed this and said that having a degree will give him additional opportunities outside of football.

Ndidi clarified that the business and management skills will be useful because he intends to start a business after he quits from football.

He stated: "Oh, I'm done. liked a 10-course program that could enroll me in a legitimate university degree."

When Ndidi was interviewed by Sportsmail in 2019, he went into great detail about his desire to further his studies while playing football.

Ndidi told Sportsmail, "I have free time, so instead of sitting and playing FIFA, it's good to grasp the four walls of schools.

"Some football players in Nigeria neglect their academic pursuits in order to play football. But if you do both, you may keep doing whatever one is successful rather than only wishing for football and failing to make it."

I've always wanted to play football, and right now it's what I do for a living, but my father pushed me to stay in school and discouraged me from doing that. Until he first saw me playing for the Under 17 national team on television, he was unsure that what he was doing was the correct thing.

Have a definite idea of a place where you can play football and study, such as Lagos or Abuja, because it is extremely difficult to break into the Nigerian football scene due to the country's large population.

"I have discussed making it happen with my godfather. To encourage children to pursue higher education and employment if they don't succeed in football."
