Nigerian forward and Deportivo La Coruña women’s team star, Blessing Nkor, paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on Monday in Akure, following an impressive debut season in Spain.
During the visit, Nkor presented the governor with an official Deportivo La Coruña jersey, specially customized with his name, “AIYEDATIWA,” boldly inscribed on the back.
The symbolic gesture was in appreciation of the governor’s support for sports development in the state and as a tribute to her Ondo roots.
The young striker was one of Deportivo La Coruña’s standout performers in the 2024/2025 season, making waves in her first year in Spanish football with key goals and assists that helped her team secure a top finish.
Governor Aiyedatiwa commended Nkor for being a good ambassador of the state and Nigeria, encouraging her to remain focused and continue making the nation proud on the international stage.
Blessing Nkor’s rise from grassroots football in Nigeria to European spotlight continues to inspire many young female footballers across the country.
