Nigeria outclassed Brazil 3-1 to advance to a first-ever World Cup final against Japan.
“Let’s be focused and finish the job because it’s not yet done,” Busari charged.
“The trophy is the major thing and what the country wants, it’s what we want as well.
“We just have to fight for it.”
Japan beat defending champions North Korea 4-1 on penalties after fulltime scores stood at 1-1 to set up an interesting World Cup final.
Kick-off time is 7.30 pm in Nigeria.
Busari also celebrated his team’s historic progress to Saturday’s World Cup final in Rabat, Morocco.
“I’m so excited, I’m happy,” he said.
“It’s a turning point of my career.”
