President Bola Tinubu has praised the Super Eagles following their emphatic 2–0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Nigeria booked a place in the semi-finals with a commanding performance at the Grand Stade de Marrakech, ending Algeria’s impressive defensive run in the tournament.
The Desert Foxes had conceded just one goal prior to the encounter, but were undone by Nigeria’s intensity and clinical finishing in the second half.
Reacting shortly after the final whistle, President Tinubu took to X to commend the team’s display.
“Brilliant performance… inspiring. Go, Super Eagles! You have the support of all Nigerians,” he wrote, with hashtags #Naija4TheWin and #AFCON2025.
