Zulu to Super Eagles B team, President Tinubu is happy with you
The Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Grassroots Sports Development, Adeyinka Adeboye, has conveyed the message of President Bola Tinubu to the
crew and players of the Super Eagles B for picking one of the tickets for next year’s African Nations Championship (CHAN) to be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from February 1st to 28th, 2025.
Zulu, as the SSA is fondly called, said President Tinubu was happy with the players for their on-and-off-the-pitch performance and the grit and resilience they displayed in the course of the match which saw them triumphed after the blast of the final whistle by the Moroccan referee, Hamza El Fariq.
“I want to inform you, the players and the technical crew, that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is happy with your performance on Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo where you took your Ghanaian counterpart, the Black Galaxies, to the cleaners with your outstanding display and clinical finishes which saw Nigeria qualified for our first CHAN since 2018.
“Your qualification showed the true Nigerian spirit in you which Mr President is proud of. You have made the country proud and the Federal Government will do all within its power to make sure that you get all the necessary support for the tournament proper in February 2025. Kudos to the coaches and the players and all the backroom staff,” the SSA said.
The home-based Super Eagles book their qualification to the Championship after a 3-1 aggregate scoreline against the visitors on Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
The Coach Daniel Ogunmodede side got the first goal in the 20th minute through Remo Stars’ wing back, Sodiq Ismail, while Nduka Junior doubled the lead in the 23rd minute before Isaac Saviour took the game beyond the reach of the Ghanaians with Nigeria’s third goal in the 25th minute.
The Black Galaxies got their consolation goal in the 71st minute through Amakhona Stephen but it was too late as Nigeria picked the CHAN ticket.

Corps Members have been advised to be patriotic towards National building and also use the opportunities of NYSC service year to positively invest in their future.
The immediate past Director of Information and Public Relations of NYSC, Chief Eddy Megwa, stated this during his motivational lecture to Corps Members at the Bauchi State Orientation Camp, Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the State.
Addressing the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Corps Members, Chief Megwa urged them to serve the nation with loyalty and strong sense of commitment, adding that, no nation grows without the selfless services of her citizens, he therefore urged them to rise up and make the desired change.
The Retired Director, urged the Corps Members to deliberately work towards building a great nation that would compete among the comity of nations, because, “if things are working very well, the youths will not be desperate about relocating to other countries of the world for greener pastures”.
He discouraged the youths from irregular migration, describing it as a suicide mission, because of many risks associated with it, including avoidable deaths, jail terms among others, but equally advised them to follow the official travelling protocol if the need for foreign trip arises.
He also encouraged the Corps Members to strive for excellence in whatever they do, adding that they should leverage on the achievements of their predecessors.
“Do not put your names and your families’ names into disrepute by getting involved in crimes and other unwholesome activities. NYSC is not a safe haven for criminals”, he said.
The former image maker of NYSC described the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme of the NYSC as the panacea to graduate unemployment. He therefore advised the Corps Members to take advantage of the SAED programme by learning skills that would be useful and enable them become entrepreneurs.
He emphasized that the days of white collar jobs are over as the reality of today is self employment which is made possible by embracing Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship training.
The Public Relations guru advised the Corps Members Members to be security conscious as vigilance and self consciousness of their environment are key to personal safety.
Earlier, the NYSC Bauchi State Coordinator, Mr Kufre Umoren appreciated the retired Director for the visit and his words of motivation to both camp officials and Corps Members.
The Coordinator described Chief Megwa as a living legend that shaped the NYSC Public Relations Unit to what it is today and left his footprints boldly.
