The Super Eagles overpowered Egypt, defeating the seven-time AFCON winner, in a penalty shootout after the regular time, in which the Nigerian team dominated.
The President commends the Super Eagles for putting behind them the disappointment of the semi-final loss to host nation Morocco last Wednesday
"However, our players remained undaunted, and exhibiting the resilience of the Nigerian spirit, their efforts have now paid off.
"We will all be proud of them as they receive their hard-earned bronze medal on Sunday in Rabat, Morocco.
"Thank you, our gallant Super Eagles. Thank you, our national team players. This bronze medal surely feels good like gold."
