A Celebration of Preparation and Talent

In a heartfelt statement delivered on Saturday, the Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, praised the Super Eagles for their outstanding achievement in Kigali. According to Dikko, this victory wasn’t just a matter of luck—it was the result of meticulous preparation meeting the unmatched competence and capability of the players. These guys didn’t just show up; they brought their A-game, and it paid off big time.

It’s a game-changer, folks.”

“On behalf of the entire Nigerian sports family and the nation at large, I want to extend my congratulations to the Super Eagles players and the technical crew led by Eric Chelle.

The Nigerian supporters were absolutely incredible, motivating and encouraging the team every step of the way. They truly made a difference!”

“What happened in Kigali is a testament to the power of preparation meeting competence and capability. The Super Eagles are an exceptionally talented team, and the NSC, in collaboration with the NFF, has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure they have everything they need to succeed. We started preparing months in advance, ensuring that all logistics and support systems were in place to enable the team to perform at their best.”
