This pivotal announcement was relayed on Saturday through a press release issued by Stanley Nkwocha, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications.

In his statement, Shettima emphasized the unifying power of football and the crucial role played by the Super Eagles in fostering national pride and unity. He echoed President Tinubu’s belief in the team’s potential and called upon all Nigerians, both at home and abroad, to rally behind the Super Eagles and ignite a wave of national pride to propel them to glory.

Having clinched a nail-biting victory over Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a penalty shootout, Nigeria stands poised to vie for their fourth AFCON trophy since their last triumph in 2013.
