President Bola Tinubu has given the green light for the full disbursement of allowances and match bonuses to the Super Falcons.
This is coming as the players prepare for their final clash against Morocco in the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja, Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, revealed that all financial entitlements, covering the entire tournament up to the July 26 final, have already been released for prompt payment to players, coaching staff, and officials.
According to him, the decision further proves President Tinubu’s strengthened commitment to the welfare of Nigerian athletes.
He reiterated that quick and smooth payments to aid sports management in Nigeria would be normalized henceforth.
The initiative will also benefit Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, who are gearing up for their 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket campaign in Côte d’Ivoire, with Dikko confirming that they will also enjoy improved bonuses and allowances from now on.
“This is the kind of sports administration we are building, one rooted in dignity, trust and shared prosperity. Future generations would appreciate President Tinubu’s reforms in the sports sector,” he said.
