Rasheedat Ajibade played 3 matches for the Falcons, recording 2 assists in the 3-2 win over co-hosts Australia and also scored a penalty in the 4-2 shootout loss to England, while Rofiat Imuran was an unused substitute throughout the tournament.
The Governor had earlier put a call through to Ajibade a day before the reception to congratulate her on her appearance for Nigeria and also arrange for the welcome-home event.
