President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday, February 13, honoured every member of the Super Eagles that participated at the just concluded African Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The meeting followed their recent match against the host nation, Côte d’Ivoire, in the 2023 AFCON final, where they fell short in their bid to lift the country’s fourth trophy.

While hosting them at the Council Chambers of the State House, President Tinubu conferred Nigeria’s National honor of Member of the Order of Nigeria ( MON ) on each of the players.
