Reacting to the team’s performance in South Africa, Kida heaped praise on the girls for their bravery, gallantry, and determination to reach the final and also commended the male team for putting up a sterling performance, despite facing challenges with the South African High Commission over the issuance of visas, which led to their late arrival at the tournament, which dampened the morale of the boys.
“We are indeed delighted and satisfied with your performances in the tournament and will build on these successes in the coming years. You gave your very best in all your matches. And we are very proud of you all, as we are sure that you all are destined for greatness in your careers,” Kida stated.
“I want to also say a big thank you and well done to coach Juliana Negedu and the assistants, including the members of the delegation, for the good work you did for our dear nation out there in South Africa, despite the difficult circumstances,” he added.
