Governor Sule lauded the team’s achievements and reiterated his administration’s commitment to promoting sports in Nasarawa State. “Your efforts have brought pride to our state, and we remain committed to supporting our athletes and sports institutions,” he said during the ceremony.

This gesture further cements Nasarawa State’s reputation as a stronghold of women’s football in Nigeria and underscores the state government’s dedication to empowering youth through sports.
