By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

The six Super Falcons players from Imo State who participated in the 2022 Africa Women Championship in Mororoco have received N30 million largesse which Governor Hope Uzodimma promised them.

Uzodimma announced a N5 million donation for each of the six Super Falcons players from Imo State who participated in the Africa Women Championship in Morocco when they paid him a courtesy call at the Government House Owerri.

The beneficiary of the Government’s largesse include: Desire Oparanozie, Chiamaka Nnadozie, Vivian Ikechukwu, Tochukwu Oluehi, Ohale Osinachi and America-born Michelle Alozie.

The Governor said he was particularly touched by the display of football artistry exhibited by the women folk against their Morrocan competitors, noting that the six ladies not only did Nigeria proud but Imo State where they hailed from.

He congratulated the Super Falcons for also qualifying for the Women’s World Cup holding in Australia and NewZealand from July 20 till August, 20, 2023.
