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.’’
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
