The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has received the Nigerian women’s national team, the Super Falcons at the State House in Aso Rock.
In a viral photo surfacing on social media, members of the Super Falcons team were seen in a group photograph with the First Lady on Monday, August 14, 2023.
This is on the heels of their performance at the ongoing FIFA Women’s world cup in Australia, where they were knocked out in the round of 16 by the English Women’s team. Nigeria went unbeaten in the group stages with a victory against the host nation Australia in the opening fixture and two draws against Ireland and Canada.
