President Bola Tinubu has conferred the national honour of Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) on Super Eagles players who participated at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
Tinubu, who met with the Super Eagles team at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, also granted every member of the team a plot of land in Abuja.
The team lost 2-1 to Cote d’Ivoire in the AFCON final at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan on Sunday.
Spearheaded by reigning African Player of the Year Victor Osimhen, Nigeria had looked the most formidable team in the competition over the last month.
But Cote d’Ivoire’s sense of destiny was overpowering as they became the first host country to win the AFCON since 2006.
