‎‎“This is because the governor strongly believes in harnessing the potentials of young people and is committed to empowering them through sports,” he said.

‎‎Enabulele praised Okpebholo for his prompt and deliberate investment in sports development, noting that the commitment was already producing visible results.

‎‎“Our Sports development strategy goes beyond entertainment. It is about engaging young people, creating opportunities, and projecting national pride,” he said.

‎‎Reflecting on the team’s performance so far, Enabulele commended the Super Falcons for displaying exceptional character, unity, and patriotism in spite of the several setbacks.

‎‎“Personally, I think the team’s character and patriotism have greatly impacted their performance in this WAFCON campaign. Even with their training kits arriving late and other encumbrances, the players remained focused and reached the semi-finals conceding only a goal,” he said.

‎‎He also commended the coaching crew for instilling discipline and unity within the squad, describing it as a key factor in their impressive performance from the group stage to the semi-final against South Africa’s Banyana Banyana.

‎‎“The team’s handlers deserve praise for the discipline and order they’ve brought to the camp. It is evident in the players’ composure and determination,” he said.

‎‎Enabulele, who hailed the team’s impressive showing in Tuesday’s semi-final, expressed confidence that the Super Falcons are capable of lifting the trophy on Saturday.

‎‎“We have come this far to emerge victorious on Saturday. I remain optimistic that if the players can reenact the same performances that have seen them through so far, Mission X will be accomplished.”
