The president posted his congratulatory message on his Facebook page. see comments below.
Today,
I commend Nigeria's Golden Eaglets for their well deserved victory at
the FIFA Under-17 World Soccer tournament in Dubai, in the United Arab
Emirates, UAE. The players played with great skill and projected the
Nigerian can do spirit and the end result is that Nigeria is now a four
time champion. This could not have come at a better time seeing as
Nigeria is on the cusp of celebrating our centenary as a nation. In
February this year, the Super Eagles won the African Cup of Nations and
now our youths are today the world’s champions. This is no fluke. It is
no coincidence. It is a reaffirmation of what I have always known; that
excellence is a Nigerian habit. I believe Nigerians are poised to extend
this habit to every facet of our national life. May God bless us all
and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. GEJ
