The Minister had before the match made a viral video encouraging the team to go all out and bring the trophy home.
In the morale-booster message, she declared them formidable, indisputable and strongest ambassadors of the nation.
The Super Falcons became the first African team in history to clinch the title for a record 10th time.
Odumegwu-Ojukwu said: “You have once again, made us proud. You didn’t allow the setback of the first half to weigh you down. Fired by the typical Nigerian spirit, you came into the second stanza of the game and stamped your authority in every department, dominated it, not minding the vociferous supporters of the host opponents. With your fantastic and stunning performance, you silenced the crowd.
“Truth is that you clearly displayed the heart of true champions; exceptional character-discipline, resilience, unity of purpose and the mission was emphatically accomplished to the consternation of the host.
“You are our immutable and strongest ambassadors. I thank you for once again, making Nigeria proud.”
