Imo State Commissioner for Sports Development, Hon. Obinna Onyeocha, has congratulated Nigerian international, Chiamaka Nnadozie, on winning the CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year (2025) award, her third consecutive honour on the continent.
In a statement on Wednesday, Onyeocha described Nnadozie’s achievement as “remarkable and inspiring,” noting that the feat has once again projected Imo State positively on the global sporting stage.
He said the administration of Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma is excited that such a historic accomplishment is happening during his tenure, adding that the state government has always regarded Nnadozie and other Imo-born athletes as worthy ambassadors. He recalled that the governor hosted her and other members of the Super Falcons earlier in the year following their triumph at the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Onyeocha expressed confidence that Nnadozie’s continued exploits will serve as a major motivation to Heartland Queens FC, Imo State’s women’s team, as they prepare for the kickoff of the new Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) season.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening sports development and providing platforms for young talents to excel.
