Each member of Nigeria’s U-17 women’s football squad, the Flamingos, will receive N100 million from President Bola Tinubu after the team’s historic FIFA World Cup triumph in Morocco last weekend.
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, announced this on Wednesday in Abuja when the players and their coaching staff visited the Presidential Villa.
She explained that the funds would be placed in trust for the young athletes in selected banks.
Under the reward package, the head coach Busari Hakeem will also receive N100 million, while every member of the technical crew will get N50 million.
