Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has honoured Super Falcons coach, Justin Madugu, with a three-bedroom bungalow and a cash prize of N50 million for guiding the national women’s football team to victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The presentation was made at the Government House in Yola during Madugu’s courtesy visit, as shared in a Facebook post by the governor’s aide, Pius Iliya.

Madugu, who hails from Adamawa, received praise from Fintiri for his contribution to the team’s success at the tournament held in Morocco earlier this year.

“Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, on behalf of the Government and people of Adamawa State, has gifted Justine Pwanidi Madugu (Coach of Nigeria’s Super Falcons) a three-bedroom bungalow and a sum of N50m for leading the team into winning the 2024 Women African Cup of Nation that took place in Morocco this year,” the statement read.

The reward comes just weeks after the Super Falcons lifted their 10th WAFCON title, further cementing their dominance in African women’s football.
