President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has awarded each player of Nigeria’s Super Falcons $100,000 and a three-bedroom apartment following their return from Morocco.
This gesture follows their victory in the WAFCON tournament, where they made a surprising comeback to defeat the host nation, Morocco.
President Tinubu had earlier congratulated the team during a video call and expressed that he looked forward to receiving them at the Presidential Villa upon their return.
According to a statement issued by the president’s spokesperson, Dada Oluwasegun, the reward was made public.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu confers National Honours of Officer of Order of Niger and 3 bedroom apartments each and a cash award of $100,000 each to the 24 players and $50,000 each technical team for all the members of the Technical Committee”
