President Bola Tinubu has warmly welcomed the Super Eagles back to Nigeria following their difficult experience in Libya. In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu condemned the unsportsmanlike and inhumane treatment the team endured at a Libyan airport.
The President praised the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Ministry of Sports Development for their coordinated efforts in ensuring the team’s safe return. He also urged the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to investigate the incident and take appropriate action against those responsible.
Tinubu lauded the resilience of the players and called for united efforts in preventing similar occurrences in the future.
