Nigeria’s newly appointed Ambassador to South Korea, Senator Professor Nora Ladi Daduut, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the occasion of his birthday, describing him as a visionary leader committed to the progress of Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Daduut who represented Plateau South Senatorial district in the 9th National Assembly lauded Tinubu’s dedication to nation-building and prayed for continued wisdom, strength, and good health as he pilots the affairs of the country.

On this auspicious occasion of your birthday, I join millions of Nigerians in celebrating a leader whose commitment to the renewal of our dear nation remains unwavering,” Daduut said.

She added: “May Almighty God grant you robust health, divine wisdom and the enablement to continue steering Nigeria towards greater prosperity and stability.”

Daduut further praised President Tinubu for his bold economic reforms and infrastructural initiatives, which she said are laying a solid foundation for long-term national development.

Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda is already yielding positive results in key sectors, demonstrating courage and strategic foresight in repositioning Nigeria for greatness,” she stated.

“His administration’s focus on security, agriculture, and human capital development deserves commendation as these efforts are gradually transforming the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

She also lauded the First Lady of the Federation, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for the pivotal and stabilizing role she continues to play in the life of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Daduut described the First Lady as a pillar of strength, wisdom and quiet resilience whose unwavering support has been instrumental in enabling the President to navigate the demanding responsibilities of leadership with focus and determination.

“The First Lady’s dedication, counsel and partnership have provided immense strength to Mr. President, allowing him to pursue the Renewed Hope Agenda with greater confidence and clarity,” she stated.

Daduut also extended warm congratulations to Professor Nentawe Yilwatda on his return as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and to Senator Ajibola Basiru on his re-election as National Secretary, alongside other party officials elected or returned at the party’s recently concluded National Convention.

She described the outcome of the convention as a reflection of unity and consensus within the APC, expressing confidence that the new leadership would consolidate the gains of the party and support the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“I congratulate Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, Senator Ajibola Basiru, and all other leaders who emerged or were returned at the APC National Convention.

This is a victory for party unity and a strong signal of readiness for the tasks ahead,” she stated.

Daduut urged all party members and Nigerians to rally behind the President and the APC leadership for the continued development of the country.

Edo Queens midfielder Valentina Uroko has revealed that her stunning free-kick against USFA was the result of repeated practice in training, after the Nigerian champions powered into the final of the CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU-B qualifying tournament with a commanding 5-1 victory.

Uroko produced a moment of brilliance at the Stade 4 Août in Ouagadougou on Wednesday, scoring from an almost unimaginable position to give Edo Queens a 3-0 lead just before half-time.

The midfielder said she had repeatedly practised the technique during training and was delighted to see it finally produce a goal on the continental stage.

“I practise it in training and it is something that I kept trying, so I’m happy that it turned out good today,” Uroko said.

Her spectacular strike came in the 45th minute, shortly after Chioma Moses had doubled Edo Queens’ advantage.

Earlier, Atume Doosuur had opened the scoring in the 17th minute as the reigning NWFL champions established control of the semi-final.

Edo Queens returned from the break with even greater intensity, with Doshima Tarnum scoring directly from a corner just a minute into the second half to make it 4-0.

Aminat Folorunsho completed the scoring for the Nigerian side in the 62nd minute, effectively putting the contest beyond USFA before the hosts managed a consolation goal in the 91st minute.

The emphatic result sends Edo Queens into the WAFU-B final, keeping their hopes of regional glory and qualification for the CAF Women’s Champions League alive.

The Benin-based side had earlier opened their campaign with a remarkable 7-0 demolition of AS Garde Nationale of Niger Republic, followed by a 3-1 victory over ASEC Mimosas in their first two Group B matches.

Their only defeat came in the final group game when Ghanaian champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies edged them 2-1 on Sunday.

Edo Queens could now meet Ampem Darkoa again in the final, setting up the possibility of a rematch with the Ghanaian champions.

Despite scoring one of the highlights of the tournament and helping Edo Queens reach the final, Uroko insisted that the team must remain focused.

“I will remain focused and not carry it away because we are not there yet,” she added.

For Uroko, the spectacular free-kick was a reward for persistence in training. For Edo Queens, however, the bigger prize is now within touching distance.
