“Your resounding 3-2 victory is not just another trophy; it is a testament to your hard work, consistency, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit,” she said in a statement. “On behalf of Nigerian women and the entire nation, I thank you for making us proud.”
She added that the Super Falcons had inspired millions of Nigerians and Africans, and that their names were now “written in gold.”
