Kano gov congratulates Dangote at 67

With seventy minutes remaining, South Africa believed they had tied the score, but Nnadozie once more responded quickly to save a low drive, keeping Banyana from close range.

Asisat Oshoala took Ihezuo's place seven minutes before halftime, but the former Barcelona forward did not do much as the Falcons stayed in the defensive position and held onto their slim lead.

As the referee sounded the final whistle, there was a wild celebration on the Falcons bench as Nigeria's 16-year Olympic wait to play women's football came to an end.

"Kano, your homeland will always be appreciative of your altruistic deed, particularly the recent delivery of palliatives to millions of underprivileged people.

Your willingness to collaborate with and back our administration's policy initiatives will undoubtedly significantly advance the state's social and economic growth.

"We can only wish you sound health, profound wisdom, and a long life to propel positive impact on humanity as you clock a new era in the annals of history," Yusuf added.

In a connected story, Yusuf also expressed his sympathies to the Daso family and other Hausa film industry members after the veteran actress Saratu Gidado passed away.

Daso passed away at her Kano home in the wee hours of Tuesday.

Yusuf thought back to her days of playing roles who were nurturing and aggressive.

He claimed that the majority of her film creations demonstrated the moral principles, perseverance, and discipline that are crucial for socio and national advancement.
He exhorted everyone involved in the Hausa film business to follow in the national unity-building footsteps of the late Saratu Gidado.

He stated, "She was an advocate for religious and cultural harmony in Kano, Northern Nigeria, and beyond, in order to promote peace and tranquilly."

The governor asked Allah to give Daso's friends and family the fortitude to bear the loss.
