In a media statement delivered by President Tinubu’s Spokesman, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, on behalf of the president on the demise of footballer-coach Sebastian Brodericks-Imasuen, who led Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets to victory at the inaugural FIFA U-16 World Championship in China in 1985, the late sportsman has been described as a “true Nigerian hero.”
The statement read, “President Bola Tinubu receives the news of the passing of one of Nigeria’s finest football coaches, Mr. Sebastian Brodericks-Imasuen, with a heavy heart.
”President Tinubu celebrates the football icon, who brought hope and inspired national pride by his industry, devotion, and diligence on and off the pitch, describing him as a true Nigerian hero.
“The President sympathizes with the Imasuen family, the football community, the government of Edo State, and all those who mourn this agonizing loss while praying for the repose of the soul of the dearly departed.”
