The long-awaited financial rewards for Nigeria’s golden girls are finally crossing the finish line! The National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Federal Ministry of Finance have intensified high-level coordination to finalize the processing and immediate disbursement of presidential cash rewards for the Super Falcons and D’Tigress.
The administrative push follows a strategic consultative meeting between NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko and the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele.
The high-stakes financial rollout covers the historic triumphs recorded by both national teams, including the Super Falcons’ remarkable conquest at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and D’Tigress’s dominant, record-extending run at the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket.
While the Federal Government has already completed payments and title document allocations for the three-bedroom apartments in Abuja alongside prestigious national honors (OON), the final hurdle centers on the cash components. Minister Oyedele assured that bureaucratic processing through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is wrapping up, meaning players and technical crew members will soon receive direct credit alerts.
The development marks a major win for athlete welfare and institutional accountability, ensuring that elite sportswomen who carry the nation’s flag with pride receive the full measure of gratitude promised by the presidency.
