The spokesman for the House, Rep. Rep. Akin Rotimi (APC-Ekiti state) in a statement on Monday, said that the green chambers celebrates the entire players and coaching crew for their spirited display in Cote d’Ivoire.

He said that the lawmakers are particularly delighted by the performance of the team’s captain, William Ekong for emerging ‘Man of the Competition’.
