The Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Malam Shehu Dikko, has confirmed that rewards for Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Super Falcons and D’Tigress have been fully approved and processed.
The Super Falcons and D’Tigress are to be rewarded following their triumphs in their respective African competitions, whilst the Super Eagles will be honoured for finishing runners-up at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Dikko made the confirmation on Friday during an interview on Arise Television, providing details on the rewards, which include houses, land, national honours and monetary incentives.
“I can tell you Mr President has already approved the houses and the land for the Super Eagles, and the National Awards, and the monies for the Super Falcons. All that has been processed,” Dikko said.
“As I speak to you, I have in my possession all the Certificates of Occupancy for the houses of the players in Lagos and Abuja for both the Super Eagles, Super Falcons and D’Tigress.”
The NSC chairman stated that national honours have been finalised, whilst payment of financial rewards is at an advanced stage, saying, “I have all the certificates for the National Awards.
“The money has been processed and is currently at the payment point at the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.”
The confirmation is expected to ease concerns among stakeholders and athletes who have been awaiting fulfilment of the promised rewards following their historic performances.
