President Bola Tinubu has rewarded members of Nigeria’s victorious Flamingos team with N100 million each following their historic triumph at the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.
The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, announced the presidential reward on Wednesday when she hosted the players and their coaching officials on behalf of her husband at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
She said the reward was in recognition of the team’s outstanding performance and the honour they had brought to Nigeria through their victory.
According to her, the money would be kept in trust for the young players in designated banks.
The team’s head coach was also rewarded with N100 million, while members of the technical crew would receive N50 million each.
The Flamingos clinched the title after defeating Japan 2-1 in the final of the competition held in Morocco.
