“Without any doubt, Egypt will be difficult but the other teams should be given the same respect.
“Any nation that qualifies for the finals cannot be a pushover. There won’t be any easy match for the Super so they must be at their best.
“I hope the present group of players will make Nigeria proud by winning the trophy in Cameroon,” said Lawal who represented Nigeria at four editions of the Africa Cup of Nations.
