Iheanacho Shines As Nigeria Defeats Sierra Leone By 3 – 2
Ugonna Michael
The brilliant efforts of Kelechi Iheanacho in the dying minutes of the match between Nigeria and Sierra Leone made the Super Eagles triumph by three goals.
Starting the game on a strong foot from an Osimhen goal and gradually losing momentum over the course of the game, the Nigerian national team managed to secure a victory by a late minute goal from substitute striker Kelechi Iheanancho.
Sierra Leone came from behind to tie the game twice with goals from Mustapha Bundu and Augustus Kargbo but they weren’t enough to snatch the victory from the Super Eagles.
Nigeria now sit comfortably at the top of the group with twelve points from five games while Sierra Leone are third with five points from five games.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Thursday, June 22, join world leaders in Paris, France, to review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on priority list for support and investment, following devastating impact of climate change, energy crisis, and after effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The President will participate in the two-day Summit, June 22 and 23, that looks at opportunities to restore fiscal space to countries that face difficult short-term financial challenges, especially the most indebted; mobilize innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change; foster development in low-income countries, and encourage investment in “green” infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
President Tinubu and the other global leaders, multilateral institutions, financial experts and economists will take a more holistic look at the recovery of economies from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, and rising cases of poverty, with a view to providing access to finance and investment that will leverage inclusive growth.
The Summit, which will be hosted by President Emmanuel Macron of France, will be held at Palais Brongniart.
The President will be accompanied by members of the Presidential Policy Advisory Council and senior government officials. He will return to Abuja on Saturday.
