All thanks to ongoing reforms spearheaded by the removal of fuel subsidy and unification of exchange rates by President Tinubu’s administration, several sectors of the economy have seen fund approvals like never experienced before.

This is entirely different from the fact that subnational governments are now getting more than double allocations on a monthly basis from the central government.

Some of these approvals and interventions have been highlighted below.

My beloved Super Falcons,
 
Tonight, you stand at the cusp of history as you face the host nation, Morocco, in the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.
 
Your performance at this tournament over the past three weeks has been awe-inspiring. You have represented our country with pride, honour, and strength.
 
In the pitch and off the pitch, you have demonstrated true sportsmanship.
 
I was delighted to see photographs of your visit to the injured Gabriela Salgado of South Africa's Banyana Banyana following the semi-final match. That simple act of compassion reflects our shared humanity, empathy, and sisterly affection, which we Africans hold in high regard.
 
If statistics alone win matches, you are already champions. Unbeaten in the group stages, victorious in the knockout rounds, and conceding only a goal in the semi-finals. Apart from this, you have come out triumphant in all your previous nine finals.
 
On behalf of a grateful nation, we are rooting for you and praying for your resounding success tonight, as you strive to achieve the crowning accomplishment of lifting a record tenth continental title.
 
I have sent a presidential delegation to attend the final in Rabat to convey the full support of the government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to cheer you on to victory.
 
The delegation comprises the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa; the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite; the Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim; and the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, among others.
 
I thank the families of the Super Falcons team, coaches, friends, the Nigerian Community in Morocco, the Nigeria Football Supporters Club and the Nigerian Mission in Morocco for their steady support throughout this competition.
 
You will finish strong by the Grace of God. Go for the tenth! Bring the trophy home. Your fellow countrymen and women, young and old, are rooting for you.

I look forward to receiving the team, the trophy, and the officials in Abuja.

- Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria
