President
Muhammadu Buhari on Monday congratulated the Golden Eaglets for winning this
year FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile.
In a
statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President applauded the exemplary zeal,
determination, commitment, hard work, patriotism and soccer artistry displayed
by the Eaglets throughout the tournament.
He noted
with delight that the Golden Eaglets did not only won the coveted World Cup,
but they are also bringing home the highly-valued individual awards such as the
Golden Boot won by Victor Osimhen for being the tournament’s highest goal
scorer and the Golden Ball, won by the team captain, Kelechi Nwakali for being
the best player.
President
Buhari believed that the team’s latest victory on the global stage is an
affirmation of the significant progress Nigeria is now making towards
positively redefining and rediscovering its potential for greatness in the
comity of nations.
He joined
other proud Nigerians in awaiting the Golden Eaglets’ heroic return to the
country.
