Governor Uzodimma, following in the footsteps of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who had earlier honoured all the team members, said the honour for the Imo daughters was part of efforts by the entire state to domesticate and celebrate the feat achieved by the Nigerian female players.

The Governor, who could not contain his joy at the dinner held in honour of the Imo State daughters at the Banquet Hall of Government House Owerri, announced a reward of a plot of land in a choice area of Owerri and a cash gift of N30 million to each of the seven players of Imo extraction of the Super Falcons and the technical team members.

“Imo people are happy with our girls and will continue to give them support so that we can have more of them make Nigeria proud and bring honour to our State,” the Governor noted.

He commended President Tinubu for setting the pace in celebrating excellent performance as the Nigeria Super Falcons exhibited following their heroic victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
