The President, in a statement signed by Femi Adesina, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, also commends the Akwa-Ibom State government for hosting the match and the fans for their good conduct and sportsmanship throughout the game.
Buhari argued that the team met the expectation of millions of viewers especially those who thronged the venue of the match, Godswill Akpabio stadium in Akwa-Ibom, to support the team during the entertaining and action-soaked encounter.
The President commends the team and its handlers for displaying uncommon strength, determination and high professionalism in the onward and steady progress to the 2018 tournament in Russia.
With six points in our kitty from two impressive wins, Buhari assures the team that the Federal Government and indeed, all Nigerians will continue to support them to make the nation proud.
