Today, I commend Nigeria's Golden Eaglets for
their well deserved victory at the FIFA Under-17
World Soccer tournament in Dubai, in the United
Arab Emirates, UAE. The players played with great
skill and projected the Nigerian can do spirit and
the end result is that Nigeria is now a four time
champion. This could not have come at a better
time seeing as Nigeria is on the cusp of
celebrating our centenary as a nation. In February
this year, the Super Eagles won the African Cup of
Nations and now our youths are today the world’s
champions. This is no fluke. It is no coincidence.
It is a reaffirmation of what I have always known;
that excellence is a Nigerian habit. I believe
Nigerians are poised to extend this habit to every
facet of our national life. May God bless us all and
may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
