After several redundant months, Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo, was utterly excited the team finally peaked in the FIFA Ranking.
Thursday’s release saw Nigeria climb five places to 47th in the world and sixth in Africa.
Although lost to Serbia, the three-time African champions surged having garnered enough points from the victory over fifth-placed Poland.
Omeruo, currently on loan at Kasimpasa from Chelsea, took to Instagram to hail the achievement.
Omeruo will be hoping his form at the Turkish club will win him a seat in Gernot Rohr’s flight to Russia.
The 24-year-old has featured 24 times, scoring once for his club.
