The Chairman commended the entire Flamingos squad, their coaches, technical crew, parents and the Nigeria Football Federation for their collective contributions to the historic accomplishment.

He noted that Tosin’s success reflects the youth development vision of his administration’s HOA GLORY Agenda, demonstrating that outstanding talents can emerge from local communities and achieve global recognition.

Aroyewun, on behalf of the government and people of Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA, wished the entire team continued success, while describing Tosin’s remarkable journey as an inspiration to aspiring footballers, particularly young girls.
