Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, has assured the Super Falcons that they will receive the cash rewards, houses and national honours certificates promised by President Bola Tinubu following their 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations triumph, insisting the delay is due to government processes rather than a change of commitment, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The assurances come as the Super Falcons intensify preparations for the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco while still awaiting the fulfilment of the Federal Government’s promise of $100,000 cash rewards, housing allocations and national honours announced after their record-extending 10th continental title last year.
Speaking on the delay, Dikko explained that the rewards are still being processed by the relevant government agencies and expressed optimism that the payments could be made before the tournament.
“It’s a government process. Those things are off-budget. It has to be provided in the budget and what have you,”
