President Bola Tinubu honored the U-17 Female World Cup Champions, the Flamingos, on Wednesday with a substantial reward.

This marks a significant achievement as Nigeria secured the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup title, becoming the first African nation to do so.
The celebration took place at the State House in Abuja, where President Tinubu’s wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, presented the rewards on behalf of her husband. The event was attended by high-ranking government officials, including the wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima, and various ministers from different sectors of the government.
The historic victory in Morocco’s final against Japan, won with a score of 2-1, has left a lasting impact on the nation's sporting history.
