The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Grassroots Sports Development, Hon. Adeyinka Adeboye, has congratulated Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen for his remarkable achievement on Wednesday night, after the Nigerian international scored a historic hat-trick for Galatasaray in their 3–0 UEFA Champions League victory over Ajax in Amsterdam.
Hon. Adeboye described Osimhen’s performance as “a reflection of hard work, focus, and the unrelenting Nigerian spirit,” noting that his success story continues to serve as a powerful motivation for young athletes across the country.

“Victor Osimhen embodies what it means to rise through discipline and dedication,” Adeboye said. “From his humble beginnings to the world stage, he has become a true symbol of possibility for every young Nigerian who dreams through sport.”
The presidential aide emphasized that Osimhen’s consistent excellence at the highest level of football reinforces Nigeria’s growing reputation as a breeding ground for world-class talent.
“His commitment, passion, and humility on and off the pitch make him a role model to millions. Beyond his goals, Victor represents the strength and ambition of the Nigerian youth,” Adeboye added.
Hon. Adeboye also extended his commendation to the entire Super Eagles squad, many of whom continue to make significant impacts across European leagues. He said their individual and collective performances reflect the renewed confidence and quality within Nigerian football.
Reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to youth and sports development, Adeboye noted that the administration remains focused on creating more opportunities for emerging athletes at the grassroots level — ensuring “many more Osimhens will rise from Nigeria’s communities to conquer the world.”
