First Lady Oluremi Tinubu on Monday hosted the Super Falcons team following their world cup exit at the presidential villa in Abuja.
The Super Falcons crashed out of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup, being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, having lost through penalties to the English team, last Monday, August 7.
Shortly after the loss, Remi had praised the Nigerian women’s team for showing they are no pushovers. She added that England’s triumph “was simply luck”.
The first lady, who watched the game alongside Nana Shettima, wife of the vice president; and Ekaette Akpabio, wife of the senate president, promised to receive the Falcons “as true heroes on their return home”.
Remi’s hosting of the Falcons comes after her reception of Nigeria’s D’Tigress following their fourth consecutive women’s Afrobasket title.
