The Chief Whip of the Senate of the Federal Republic, Senator Olusola Adeyeye boosted the morale of Nigeria’s U20 girls, Falconets, with the sum of $1000 when he met with the ladies at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Senator Adeyeye, who represents Osun Central in Nigeria’s highest legislative body, met with the
two –time FIFA World Cup silver medallists while they were on their way to Lagos to connect a
flight to Morocco for a 2018 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifying match.
“I am delighted to see you ladies here. I am told you are going to Morocco. Go there and do the
country proud as you have been doing. I believe you all possess the typical Nigerian spirit that will
make you overpower your opponents,” Senator Adeyeye said.
Team captain Oluwakemi Famuditi thanked the lawmaker for his generosity and promised that the Nigeria U20 girls will go for goals and eventual victory in Morocco on Sunday.
The Falconets landed in Casablanca on Friday morning and immediately connected another flight to Sale, the city where they clash with the Moroccan U20 girls on Sunday.
The match is the first leg of a 2018 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup African second round qualifying fixture, with the return leg in Benin City, Nigeria on November 18.
