Vice President Kashim Shettima met with the Super Eagles following their win over the Bafana Bafana of South Africa and promised that the Federal Government will reward them for their “commitment and dedication.”

The Super Eagles disclosed this in a statement and photos shared on their official X handle early Thursday.

The statement read, “The Federal Government has promised to reward the Super Eagles for their commitment and dedication in reaching the final of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivore.

“Vice President Kashim Shettima told the players and their officials in the dressing room, following their hard-fought victory over South Africa in the semi finals on Wednesday, that the government and people of Nigeria are proud of their accomplishment.

“The VP was in company with Governors Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and Duoye Diri (Bayelsa), Minister for Youths, Dr. Jamila Ibrahim as well as oil mogul, Wale Tinubu, FIFA Council member, Amaju Pinnick, and NFF President, Ibrahim Musa Gusau.”

PUNCH Online reports that the Super Eagles of Nigeria advanced to the final of the tournament after beating Bafana Bafana of South Africa 4-2 on penalties.

Super Eagles To Win Afcon


Go Super Eagles!

.

The crowds were all busy shouting Obi Obi Obi

God bless the super eagles and lovers of Nigeria
God bless president Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Devil punish ipob/esn terrorists and all kidnappers

All these coz obi was at the quarter final match? These people are more concerned about politics than governance when elections are already over.

Tell shetima to leave our super eagles alone.
Let him not carry APC's bad luck to their camp.
His presence nearly made them lose yesterday.

Just because PO was there in the quarter final game doesn't mean shetima should go for eye service and propaganda.

We need super eagles to win and make us proud. Abeg ooo

Congrats Super Eagles. 👍

They fully deserve any rewards & gratifications.

Nothing concern me but E dey mind

Boko founder

The ipob/obidients won’t like this….they have suddenly became emergency Nigerians after the victory last night, just like they became emergency Nigerians before 2023 presidential elections

please don't be sentimental. If they are happy as a result of the win what does that tell you? It means they want what's best for Nigeria. They want the country to succeed. But when it is time for election and their views differ from yours you call them enemies of Nigeria due to religious and tribal sentiments
