Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has honoured Super Falcons assistant coach, Justin Madugu, with a three-bedroom bungalow and a cash gift of ₦50 million in recognition of his contribution to Nigeria’s triumph at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The gesture was disclosed in a Facebook post by the governor’s media aide, Pius Iliya, who noted that the presentation was made during Madugu’s courtesy visit to the Government House in Yola on August 1.
Madugu, a native of Adamawa, was a key member of the technical crew that led the Falcons to their record-extending 10th WAFCON title earlier this year in Morocco.
“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 ₦50m for leading the team into winning the 2024 Women African Cup of Nation that took place in Morocco this year,” Iliya’s post read.
The recognition follows a national reception hosted weeks earlier by President Bola Tinubu in Abuja, where Madugu and other team officials received $50,000, national honours, and residential apartments for their efforts.
The Super Falcons claimed the WAFCON trophy after a dramatic 3–2 comeback win over hosts Morocco in the final.
