The Honourable Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, has congratulated Nigeria’s Super Falcons on their thrilling 2–1 win against South Africa’s Banyana Banyana, describing the triumph as a shining example of Nigerian resilience, unity, and pride.
In a statement issued through her Special Adviser on Media & Publicity, Mr. Jonathan Eze, the Minister praised the team for their exceptional display of talent, strategic excellence, and unwavering determination — qualities she said reflect the enduring spirit of Nigerian women.
“Our Super Falcons soared above the storm with hearts of fire and feet that danced the rhythm of victory,” the Minister declared. “This is more than a win; it is a resounding affirmation of the strength and spirit of Nigerian women, both on and off the field.”
She highlighted that the victory represents not just sporting success but also the rising global visibility and influence of Nigerian women in sports and beyond. “You have inspired a nation, ignited hope, and reminded the world of what Nigerian women can achieve when given the stage,” she added.
Minister Imaan reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to supporting the team, stating that under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the Super Falcons can count on unwavering backing from the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.
“Soar now, daughters of destiny, toward gold and glory. Nigeria watches, breathes, and believes in you. The crown is yours to seize — go, Champions, go!” she urged.
As the Super Falcons continue their campaign, their latest victory reinforces their status as Africa’s undisputed queens of football — and a living symbol of Nigeria’s excellence, resilience, and determination on the global stage.
