Nigeria In One Minute

Minister to probe Super Falcons’ unpaid bonuses two years after

Two years after the Super Falcons defeated their Senegalese counterparts 2-0 to qualify for the 2016 edition of the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Cameroon, their winning bonuses is said to be ‘hanging’ in the secretariat of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The situation is said to be giving sports minister, Solomon Dalung a great concern, particularly after the sports ministry had allegedly made the money available to the NFF to be paid to the players and their coaches.

The Super Falcons qualified for the 10th Africa Women’s Cup of Nations by beating Senegal 2-0 in a return fixture in April 2016 after a 1-1 draw in Dakar. The players allegedly got only N10, 000 as ‘transportation.’

The Guardian learnt yesterday that Dalung was reminded by some officials of the team recently about their pending winning bonuses for the victory against Senegal in 2016.
