First Lady hosts Super Falcons in Abuja

Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, has opened the doors of the prestigious Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, to the esteemed members of the Nigerian women’s football team, the Super Falcons.

Amidst an air of camaraderie and unity, the Super Falcons have been extended the honor of meeting with the First Lady at this iconic location, symbolizing their significant contribution to the nation’s sporting legacy. This gesture comes in the wake of the team’s spirited journey in the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, where they showcased their unwavering dedication and competitive spirit on the global stage.

The Super Falcons demonstrated remarkable resilience throughout their campaign, although their quest for the coveted World Cup title was met with a valiant effort from the English team. A thrilling encounter culminated in a penalty shootout, ultimately concluding the Falcons’ journey in the tournament on Monday, August 7.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s commendable support for Nigerian female athletes has been unwavering. Just last Monday, she extended a similar warm reception to the triumphant Nigeria female basketball team, D’Tigresses, celebrating their remarkable achievements on the international platform.

The First Lady’s proactive involvement and encouragement of Nigerian female sports figures exemplify her commitment to fostering an environment where talent is celebrated, aspirations are nurtured, and achievements are acknowledged.
