Players and officials of the victorious Super
Falcons have threatened to take their protest
to the doorsteps of President Muhammad
Buhari if the Sports Ministry and the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) continued to
withhold their allowances.

The team returned from Yaoundé on Sunday
morning after winning their eighth African
Women Nations Cup title by beating the
hosts, Lionesses of Cameroon, 1-0 on
Saturday.
They left for Abuja on Sunday evening after
having lunch with Sports Minister, Solomon
Dalung and NFF President, Amaju Pinnick in a
brief reception organized by Emzor
Pharmaceuticals, one of the federation’s
sponsors.

At the lunch, the players expected the
minister to tell them when and how their
emoluments, including camp allowances,
winning bonuses and nine months salary for
the coaches, would be settled.
“The minister only told us we will meet in
Abuja and left with the 2.00 p.m. flight to the
federal capital. We came in some hours later
and since then, we have been waiting at
Agura Hotel to hear from either the minister
or the NFF.

“So, if by the close of work today (yesterday)
nothing comes from them, we may take our
action. I don’t know why this country always
wants people to embarrass it before doing
the needful. We may be forced to march to
the Presidential Villa or the Senate to register
our grievances. “Look at the way we were
treated like orphans in Cameroon. None of us
could buy anything for our loved ones back
home just because there was no single kobo
to do shopping. Is it fair?” the player asked.
NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, had told The
Guardian at the Murtala Mohammed Airport
shortly after the Super Falcons’ arrived on
Sunday that the federation was cash
strapped, adding, however, that they would
do everything possible to make the players
and officials smile.

“You didn’t give what you don’t have,”
Pinnick answered when pressed to state
exactly when the players and officials would
get their emoluments.

He added, however: “We will see what we
can do to put smiles on their faces because
they really made the country proud.”
