Tinubu Congratulates Lookman, Nnadozie, and Super Falcons for Winning CAF Awards 2024
President Bola Tinubu has extended heartfelt congratulations to Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman, for being named the 2024 CAF Men’s African Footballer of the Year.
The Super Eagles star’s performance throughout the year has not only elevated his game but has also brought honor to Nigeria.
President Tinubu praised Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, for securing the CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award.
These awards, announced on Monday night at the Palais des Congrès in Marrakech, Morocco, hold significant weight in African football, as they celebrate the best and brightest talents the continent has to offer.
President Tinubu, in his congratulatory message, expressed his pride in the accomplishments of Lookman, Nnadozie, and the Super Falcons, describing them as true ambassadors of Nigeria.
‘‘These athletes truly represent the heart and soul of Nigeria,’’ the President stated.
‘‘Their success on the field reflects the best of what we stand for as a nation.
We should never underestimate the power of persistence and passion, these athletes are proof that Nigeria’s potential is limitless.’’
“Their achievements speak volumes about the talent that exists within our country,’’ the President said.
‘‘They have shown us that no dream is too big, no challenge insurmountable. This is just the beginning.’’
He emphasized that the Nigerian government will continue to support and invest in the sports sector.
‘‘I am incredibly proud of their accomplishments,’’ President Tinubu concluded.
‘‘Thank you, Lookman, Nnadozie, and the Super Falcons, for making Nigeria proud on the global stage.
You have set the bar high, and we have no doubt you will continue to achieve even greater success.
Your victories inspire us all, and we look forward to more medal wins, both at home and abroad. The future is yours.’’
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
