Ogun State
governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has hailed the victory of the Super Eagles
of Nigeria over the Stallions of Burkina Faso, describing it as instructive.
In a press release by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mrs Funmi Wakama, Senator Amosun described the success of the Nigerian team as "great", especially coming against all odds.
"It shows that, as a country, we can always achieve our dreams if we are dedicated, committed and unwavering in the face of daunting challenges," the governor said.
Amosun recalled that the Eagles left the shores of Nigeria to the 29th edition of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa without being one of the favourites to win the championship but the "can do" spirit of the average Nigerian ensured that the team surmounted all obstacles to win the much-coveted trophy.
"Our dream of a great and united nation is always within our reach and attainment if we are committed and regard our challenges as mere stepping stones to the much-desired destination," Amosun said.
While congratulating the Eagles and entire country for the 2013 AFCON success, Amosun restated the determination of his administration to continue to invest massively in the mental and physical development of its youths so that they could continue to win laurels for the state and Nigeria in general.
