Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues.

“We decided to name them the future Eagles because that is the aim of the competition.
“The kids have shown that they have potential and all we have to do is to monitor them by bringing them to camp. The only thing lacking is exposure and we can only do that by working with them alongside some great coaches.
“We are going to monitor their career and academics, anyone found wanting in any of the two will be drop and others will take their place.”
An elated Group Managing Director of Zenith Bank, Peter Amangbo congratulated the champions, while also reiterating the commitment of the bank to sports development in the country.
According to him, talents abound in Nigeria and the only way out is to look for them from the grassroots through different age grade competitions.
“We are not going to relent on what we are doing now by investing in grassroots football. It is obvious the future of Nigeria football is in the kids and I want to say a big congratulations to all the participating teams,” he added.
Earlier in Kano at the weekend, North Central defeated South West in the U-13 finals.
