Ondo State Governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has rewarded Super Falcons defender Tosin Demehin with ₦30 million and a house in recognition of her outstanding performance at the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The announcement was made during a civic reception held in Akure to celebrate Ondo State indigenes who were part of the victorious Super Falcons squad at the tournament in Morocco last month.

In addition to Demehin, the governor also gifted ₦15 million each to Mary Akinsola, the team’s media officer, and Mary Oduboku, the team’s secretary, in appreciation of their contributions to Nigeria’s historic win.

“This is a proud moment for us. Tosin Demehin has made Ondo State proud on the continental stage,” Aiyedatiwa stated. “As a token of our appreciation, the state government is awarding her ₦30 million and a house at Sunshine Estate, Oba-Ile.”

Demehin, who hails from Ilaje Local Government Area, was praised for her vital role in the team’s defensive strength throughout the tournament. The governor described her as a shining example of talent, discipline, and resilience.

“I am extremely delighted to welcome home our brave daughters. Their dedication, hard work, and team spirit helped secure this victory. You have not only brought glory to the nation, but you have honoured Ondo State,” he said.
