I congratulate Ms Asisat Oshoala for securing the African women’s player of the year award for a record sixth time! That’s the Nigerian Spirit! Keep making us proud.

Also, I congratulate another great achiever, Chiamaka Nnadozie, African Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year! I remember the Super Falcons game against Australia at the recent FIFA Women’s World Cup where you displayed great goal keeping skills to keep us in the game till we won .

I celebrate the entire Nigeria Women's National Team for winning the African Women’s National Team of the Year. Your unity and exceptional performance shine brightly! This tells us that there is strength in our unity as a people and in unity, we shall achieve more.

And I salute Victor Osimhen, who was honored as the Best African Footballer, Male. 

You are winning this as the first Nigerian to do so in 24 years, after Kanu Nwankwo in 1999. I am proud of you.

Your prowess on the field is truly commendable!

Thank you all for making Nigeria proud. Truly, our Hope for a greater Nigeria is becoming a reality. CONGRATULATIONS NIGERIA. There is more to come.
