PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU REWARDS FLAMINGOS WITH ₦100 MILLION EACH IN FIVE-YEAR SAVINGS BONDS FOR WORLD CUP TRIUMPH

First Lady urges champions to remain humble, disciplined and focused

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rewarded each member of Nigeria’s victorious Under-17 women’s football team, the Flamingos, with a ₦100 million Federal Government Savings Bond in recognition of their historic triumph at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

The reward was announced by the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who represented the President at a presidential reception in honour of the team at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

The First Lady described the achievement of the triumphant Flamingos as a remarkable moment in the history of Nigerian and African sports, noting that the team had made the country proud by becoming the first African nation to win the prestigious title.

“I thank the parents, guardians, and fans whose support has nurtured these young champions, who stand as a shining testament to our belief that our youth are our greatest asset and a source of national pride.

“On behalf of Mr President and the good people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I congratulate you once again. You have made our nation proud, and we celebrate every one of you.”

She said the team’s victory had elevated Nigerian football, inspired millions of young girls and opened a new chapter for women’s football in Africa.

“Through perseverance, strong determination and teamwork, you won six consecutive matches and ultimately made history as world champions.”

The President, through the First Lady, also specially celebrated Awawu Bashiru and Oluebube Umejiaku, whose decisive goals secured Nigeria’s victory in the final. Umejiaku also emerged as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, winning the Golden Ball award.

He urged the players not to allow the celebrations surrounding their historic achievement to distract them from their football careers.

The ₦100 million reward for each player will be invested in Federal Government Savings Bonds, a measure designed to secure their financial future and ensure that the young footballers, who are still minors, are not overwhelmed by immediate access to large sums of money.

“I commend your humility even after this historic victory. It speaks volumes about your character. I urge you to remain humble, disciplined and focused, and always remember that Nigeria believes in you.

“You have elevated Nigerian football, inspired millions of young girls and opened a new chapter for women’s football in Africa, showing every Nigerian child that their dreams are valid and achievable even on the biggest stages in the world.”

The President also commended the head coach, Akeem Busari, his technical crew, medical personnel, administrators and other officials for their dedication and sacrifices.

Jigawa! Nagode sosai!

I am still smiling from Dutse. You welcomed Vice President Shettima and I like family, and you even got your President dancing! Today was special.

When I commissioned those 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, I thought of the food they will help put on your tables, the income our farmers will earn, and what that prosperity will mean for their families and communities.

The new skills centres are already teaching our young people various trades, while better roads are opening up more markets to our farmers and traders.

For us in the APC, shared prosperity means our farmers earning more, our young people finding opportunities, and more families sharing in Nigeria’s progress.

To Governor Umar Namadi, thank you for your partnership and service to the people of Jigawa.

And to the wonderful people of Jigawa, I carry your love and prayers back to Abuja with me.

Together, we will take this work further, all the way to 2031!

Alhamdulillah!

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
