In a statement by the media office of the Minister on Friday, Owan-Enoh expressed his delight with the team’s performance.

“The victory against Cote d’Ivoire is commendable, and defeating the host nation is a good sign of the team’s exceptional capabilities.

“The President and football-loving people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are all rooting for you to stay victorious until the end.

“We all believe in you, It’s in you to win all through.

“Keep winning through all stages and bring home the trophy. We have done it before, and we can do it again. Let’s do it again,” the Minister said.
