THE REWARDS I PROMISED OUR D’TIGRESS HAVE BEEN FULLY REDEEMED — PRESIDENT TINUBU

THE REWARDS I PROMISED OUR D’TIGRESS HAVE BEEN FULLY REDEEMED — PRESIDENT TINUBU 

Each player has received the naira equivalent of $100,000, while each official has received the equivalent of $50,000, completing their package of cash rewards, national honours and three-bedroom homes in Abuja.

For the first time, a Federal Government has fulfilled this scale of presidential sporting rewards in full within one year. We had to follow the processes required by law and ensure that every commitment was properly implemented. That took time, but a promise made must be a promise kept.

The outstanding cash rewards for our Super Falcons are also being concluded. 

The Super Falcons players and official have already received the title documents to their houses allocation and National Honours certificates. Likewise the promise of houses and national honors I made to Super Eagles players have since been redeemed. 

Our athletes who bring honour to Nigeria deserve more than applause. They deserve a country that keeps its word.

My promise to every Nigerian Athlete make NIGERIA proud and come back to a grateful Nation. 

Congratulations once again, our athletes. Nigeria is proud of you.
