In a statement issued on Monday through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, Akpabio hailed the team’s outstanding performance, describing it as a testament to the exceptional talent, determination, and pioneering spirit of Nigerian women across all fields.
Highlighting recent victories in women’s sports, the Senate President noted that in less than two weeks, Nigerian women have dominated the African sporting scene—first with the Super Falcons’ inspiring performance, followed by D’Tigress’ emphatic wins over Senegal in the semifinals and Mali in the final.
He praised D’Tigress for embodying Nigeria’s core values of discipline, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence, even in the face of adversity.
“This historic seventh title—and fifth in a row—reaffirms our national drive for hard work and the unyielding quest for success in every endeavour we undertake,” Akpabio stated.
He further linked the team’s success to the positive impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, expressing optimism that with collective support, Nigeria is on the path to greater progress.
“I extend my heartfelt appreciation to D’Tigress and their coaching staff for making us proud once again and for being a beacon of hope to young girls aspiring to build a career in sports. Congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to our women, and to our queens,” he added.
