President Bola Tinubu has celebrated Nigeria’s Super Falcons for winning their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title, conferring on them the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON).

The President hosted the team at the Presidential Villa on Monday, July 28, where he praised their dedication and called their victory a symbol of Nigeria’s unbreakable spirit.
