President Tinubu Lauds Nigerian Winners of CAF 2023 Awards
President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to Victor Osimhen, a forward for the Super Eagles, on his achievement of winning the CAF 2023 Men's Player of the Year award.

In addition to Osimhen, the President also acknowledged the exceptional accomplishments of Asisat Oshoala of Nigeria's Super Falcons, who secured the 2023 CAF Women's Player of The Year for the sixth time, and Chiamaka Nnadozie, who was honoured as the Woman Goalkeeper of the Year. The Super Falcons were also celebrated for being named the Women's National Team of the Year.

This information was revealed in a statement on Tuesday by Ajuri Ngelale, the President's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.

President Tinubu praised Osimhen, Oshoala, and Nnadozie for their remarkable performances on both national and international platforms, for being a source of national pride, and for inspiring future footballers across the continent.

He said, “Watching the great ambassadors of Nigeria stand atop the podium as the African Footballers of the Year, in the men and women categories, on Monday night in Marrakesh, Morocco, has strengthened our belief that with hard work, perseverance, and the help of God, everything this nation needs for greatness is within us and available to us.

“I commend Victor and Asisat for not forgetting their roots and days of humble beginnings in the game they love so much and for acknowledging the role of indigenous coaches in shaping their careers.

“I join all Nigerian fans in praying that this well-deserved honour will begin a continued journey filled with success, triumphs, and the fulfilment of all your footballing dreams,” the President said.

As reported by Prime 9ja Online, Osimhen was declared the winner of the 2023 CAF Men's Player of the Year on Monday.
