Senator Enoh stated this while receiving the President of the Nigerian Institute of Building and his entourage in his office at the Moshood Abiola International Stadium, Abuja.
He noted that it is just a few hours to the final match between the country and Code De Ivoire, and so employs everyone to pray for the Super Eagles, adding that winning the match would have a lot of positive impact on the nation.

The Director of Press and Public Relations, FMSD, Mrs. Kehinde Ajayi in a statement quoted Senator Enoh to have encouraged the institute to be committed to monitoring building constructions going on in the country to avoid incessant building collapses being recorded around the country.
