The Group Chief Executive Oando Group, Adewale Tinubu has felicitates the Super Falcons and all Nigerians on the team’s achievement after winning Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

The oil tycoon, who wrote on his social media handle, hailed the team for their grit and their display of the undying Nigerian spirit of courage and resilience.

‘’Congratulations to the Super Falcons.
To come back from a 2-0 deficit and win the WAFCON final against the home country is a masterclass in grit and the Nigerian spirit of courage and resilience.

Ten WAFCON titles. Complete dominance. #MissionX.
You’ve carried the hopes of a nation, and you’ve done so with grace and the substantial force of sheer will.
Nigeria stands proud because of you.
We thank you, ladies’’ He stated.

It was a moment of joy for Nigerians on Saturday night when the champions came back from two goals down to defeat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, and securing their record 10th continental crown.

Despite a raucous and hostile Moroccan crowd, the Nigeria’s team shocked the whole world with their impressive performance.

Esther Okoronkwo’s penalty in the 64th minute ignited the comeback. Flourish Ijamilusi, a breakout star of the tournament, levelled the score in the 71st.

Then, with just minutes to go, Jennifer Echegini buried the winner in the 88th, crushing the hopes of the Moroccan and sealing Nigeria’s place once again at the summit of African women’s football.
