Rabat, Morocco, July 26, 2025 – The Honourable Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, joined the rest of the nation in celebrating the incredible victory of Nigeria’s Super Falcons who clinched a historic win in Morocco, reaffirming Nigeria’s place on the global stage.

Present among key officials and dignitaries in Morocco, the Honourable Minister witnessed firsthand the resilience and brilliance of Nigeria’s female football champions. Visibly moved by their performance, she expressed overwhelming pride, her face lit with joyful emotion, as she stood in admiration of what the young women had accomplished, not just for football, but for the entire nation.

“This is more than a match win,” the Honourable Minister said. “This is a victory for every young Nigerian girl who dreams. A win for our culture, for our creative spirit, and for a nation that refuses to be defined by limitations. These women are our cultural ambassadors. They are poetry in motion, strength in action, and symbols of what Nigeria stands for.”

Her presence in Morocco was not only one of official representation, but one of solidarity and heartfelt support, especially for the youth and women who continue to push boundaries and uplift the Nigerian flag in every corner of the world.

In a moment that inspired even greater national pride, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, joined the celebration through a video call, extending his heartfelt congratulations to the players and reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to uplifting Nigerian talents. The President’s message came as a powerful endorsement of the Super Falcons’ impact, both in sport and in national consciousness.

The Honourable Minister, known for her passion for youth development, cultural diplomacy, and creative excellence, described the win as “a moment that defines who we are as Nigerians.” She added:

“Our Super Falcons have become more than champions on the pitch. They have become living expressions of our ministry’s mission, to empower, to inspire, and to tell the Nigerian story through every possible medium, from art and music to sports and global stage performances. They have united us, and they have uplifted our spirit at home and across the world.”

This victory is perfectly aligned with the Honourable Minister’s vision and that of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises inclusivity, youth empowerment, and promoting Nigeria’s global image. The Ministry continues to provide platforms for showcasing talent, celebrating icons, and fostering unity through creativity and cultural pride.

As the celebrations continue across Nigeria, the Honourable Minister reiterated her commitment to creating spaces where young Nigerians, male and female, can thrive, express their identity, and proudly represent Nigeria to the world.

Well done, Super Falcons. You have not only lifted a trophy, you have lifted the soul of a nation.
