The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma recently hosted some Super Falcons stars at his office.

Impressed by their talents on the field despite their lose to England in the Women's World Cup, Uzodinma praised the Falcons.

Some of the Super Falcons received are Chiamaka Nnadozie, Desire Oparanozie, Osinachi Ohale, and Tochukwu Oluehi.

Taking to his Facebook page on Wednesday to share photos and videos of their meeting, Uzodinma wrote;

“I have consistently maintained that Imo State and indeed, the South-East is blessed with human capital resources. Interestingly, our talents have been contributing to national interest and we will continue to encourage all.

"I was impressed receiving Chiamaka Nnadozie, Desire Oparanozie, Osinachi Ohale, and Tochukwu Oluehi as they shared their experiences and the joy of wearing our national colours.

"When Oparanozie Desire reacted emotionally, on her social media account, over their exit from the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023; attributing it to the non-conversion of her penalty kick, I was moved passionately not just for their impressive performance in the competition but, for the zeal to make the nation proud.

"Thankfully, they now wear beautiful smiles even as I presented some tokens to them as an encouragement to do more. - Hope Uzodimma"
