“This remarkable victory is a testament to the steadfast support we have received from their leadership, as they always match their words with action,” he added.
Beyond the celebrations, Honorable Igali highlighted the broader significance of this achievement, acknowledging its role in preparing Bayelsa Queens to give Nigeria a strong representation at the continental level—a stage where the club holds the highest finish among Nigerian women’s teams.
“This success serves as a powerful example of what can be accomplished with hard work, dedication, and passion. However, as we celebrate, we must remember that this is only the beginning—there is much work ahead,” he concluded.
