The Benue State Government has honoured Super Falcons star Francisca Mlumun Ordega for her outstanding performance at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia, at a state reception in Makurdi on Wednesday night, announced a cash reward of N50 million, a three-bedroom apartment in the heart of the state capital, and the naming of a street after her.
The event, organised by the state government, celebrated Ordega’s contribution to Nigeria’s victorious WAFCON 2024 campaign.
Governor Alia praised her for bringing pride to the state and serving as a role model for aspiring athletes in Benue and across Nigeria.
“Francisca Ordega has made Benue State and Nigeria proud. Her commitment, discipline, and talent deserve to be celebrated. This is our little way of saying thank you,” the governor said.
