The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, received some of the Nigeria’s Super Falcons players at his Lagos House, Marina.
Among the football stars who visited the Lagos governor include Asisat Oshoala, Monday Gift, and Rasheedat Ajibade.
Sanwo-Olu took to his verified Instagram page to share photos from the visit, following the Super Falcons’ outing during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
He wrote, “The Super Falcons’ incredible run at the FIFA Women’s World Cup has ignited a new era of enthusiasm for women’s football in Nigeria.
“Their achievements on the field and the unity they brought to our nation are truly remarkable. We will continue to empower and encourage our female athletes and also work towards a brighter future for women’s football in Nigeria.
“A big thank you to these amazing ladies for their visit, and the gifts of the club’s jerseys.”
Meanwhile, all the visiting Football stars once played for the FC Robo of Lagos.
This is not the first time the players would be visiting. Oshoala has been to Government House, Marina to see Sanwo-Olu in 2020. She has also been to Lagos House, Alausa to see Sanwo-Olu’s predecessor, Akinwumi Ambode, when he was governor.
Similarly, Monday Gift has been to the Lagos Government House, Marina with FC Robo in 2021. FC Robo won the Lagos FA Cup and Sanwo-Olu then donated a bus to the team.
