The match will evoke memories of Nigeria’s earlier 1-0 triumph in the group stage, secured through Captain William Troost-Ekong’s penalty.
Recognizing football’s unifying power and the Super Eagles’ role in fostering national pride and unity, Tinubu believes Shettima’s presence at the finals underscores the government’s steadfast support for the team and commitment to their success.
The federal government urges all Nigerians, both at home and abroad, to rally behind the Super Eagles, lend their voices in encouragement, and ignite a surge of national pride that propels the team to victory.
