Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has extended his warm congratulations to the Super Falcons, Nigeria’s Women’s National Football Team, on their resounding victory at the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Final in Rabat, Morocco on Saturday, marking a historic 10th title.
In a statement released on Sunday, Kalu commended the team’s passion, unmatched skill, prowess and undeterred spirit.
The Deputy Speaker noted that the triumph is not just about a trophy but a symbol of the diligence, resilience, and unstoppable rise of women in sports, governance and other areas of life and endeavours.
He said that the triumph also marks a significant milestone for Nigerian women’s football, showcasing the team’s dedication to the sport.
Applauding the team for flying the Nigerian flag high in Morocco, Kalu recalled that the thrilling comeback of a 3-2 goal margin that put the Super Falcons ahead of the host nation and ultimately gave Nigeria the deserved victory was a remarkable display of resilience and determination.
He pledged continued parliamentary supply for sports development in Nigeria.
He said: “Congratulations to our Super Falcons, Champions of Africa, on this resounding victory at the just concluded 2024 Women’s African Cup Of Nations (WAFCON) Final in Rabat, Morocco.
“Your passion and unmatched skill have once again made us all proud. You played with your heart, and an undeterred spirit that reflects the true strength of Nigerian women.
“This triumph is more than just a trophy. It’s a symbol of the diligence, resilience, and the unstoppable rise of women not just in sports but every other aspect of our society. It’s a reminder that women are capable of achieving great things with the right support.
“From every corner of our nation, we salute you, standing in ovation for this laudable achievement. Thank you for flying the Nigerian flag high”.
The Nigerian Army has given reasons why drones deployed during the rescue operation for abducted pupils, teachers and other victims in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State were unable to effectively track the kidnappers.
Speaking during the formal handover of the rescued victims to the Oyo State Government, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, Nigerian Army, said the operation was particularly difficult due to the challenging terrain within the forest where the victims were held.
The GOC disclosed that after the initial operation, troops continued to pursue the abductors using intelligence and advanced surveillance technology. However, the kidnappers had moved deeper into the dense forest, making it increasingly difficult to locate them.
According to him, the military deployed drones and other technological assets to support the search, but the thick forest canopy significantly reduced the effectiveness of aerial surveillance.
He explained that the dense vegetation concealed the kidnappers beneath the trees, preventing drones from detecting their exact location.
Despite the setback, the GOC said troops maintained sustained pressure on the abductors through coordinated intelligence-driven operations, which eventually forced a breakthrough that led to the successful rescue of the victims.
He reiterated the Nigerian Army’s commitment to working with other security agencies to combat kidnapping and restore safety across Oyo State and the country.
