The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation has released the mandate to Central Bank of Nigeria for payment of naira equivalent of US$1,173,820.00 at N305/$ to Nigeria Football Federation to pay outstanding winning bonuses for Super Eagles in the 2018 World Cup Qualifying Matches and for the Super Falcons’ participation in the 10th Women’s Africa nations Cup.
This is in furtherance of the approval from Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, for the said amount to be paid.

The mandate, which is a sum of N358 million, was paid by Central bank of Nigeria on Thursday, a statement signed Kenechukwu N, on behalf of the Accountant General, said.

Similarly, another mandate for N113.8 million has also been released by Office of Accountant General of the Federation for the payment of wining bonus for Super Eagles in the 2018 World Cup Qualifying matches; and for the Super Falcon’s participation in the 10th Women’s Africa Nation’s Cup.

This amount has also been paid to Nigeria Football Federation and is equally sequel to the approval of the minister of finance.

@Mynd44 close thread or move to FP

Finally!

lucky ladies. Congratulations girls.
God bless PMB God bless Nigeria.

God punish PMB we dont give Bleep

Why were they hiding the money before? They wanted to loot. Looters!

When the girls start tweeting that they have been paid will I believe....Anyway..still a good news...Hope is not Media Lies..

After the girls don owe and borrow money finish

FIFA will not see this as government interference but ask the same NFF to render accounts of funds you start hearing government interference. Nonsense.
If not that football is a passionate game, we would have asked NFF to go and source for funds.

.

In Nigeria it is one thing to release funds and another for the funds to get to the beneficiaries

Ask any police officer wife who lost her husband while defending the nation

Na so e suppose be!
These Girls have worked hard for it

Congrats Girls
What a motivation, THEY FOUGHT WELL

Praise be to God!

Craze ppl dm






Buhari is a dullard

Goke7:

I dey tel u, true talk o

there is difference between release and approval o! i hope they get their money before christmas

471 million wat?? Pls ban football asap

Nigeria government are irresponsible and lacks creativity...

H

why the money go still pass through NFF? Those guys Sabi do abracadabra.

this is great news


Now is time to do total over hauling


starting with that cultist No-Wisdom Solomon danlong and the ineffectual buffoon amaju peakmilk

sports in Nigeria needs experience and business minded people, not these clowns that don't even know the huge benefits sport brings to mankind.


impeachment in the making but I'm not sure if at all they will pass vote of no confidence to amaju peakmilk lead board, because the same people who are to impeach him collected N3m each just to make the idiott became the NFF president

Nonsense.. . they for no pay na.. shameless goverment

They needed the international embarrassment before doing what they ought to do in the first place.

Finally. But things like this should be better managed next time.

It was a Shane to watch the protests on DWNews and Al-Jazeera

There are confirmed reports in the camp of the super falcons that some are of the opinion that they won't collect 4.9m as against their 9m .

I strongly opine that the girls should collect what is on ground...

A bird in hand is better off than the ones in the bush.
They want to forgo what's on ground and hope for what may likely not be feasible?

This is a period of recession.

Kudos to them for a job well done.

.

Good development. However, I still believe PMB has not done enough because in a sane environment that RED CAP minister should have been fired for bad management and for those that believes NFF should take the blame let them note that this girls won the tournament for Nigeria and not for NFF. Ask the Cameroonian president if you still have any objection or defense for the FG!!!

Naija sef!!! So they had to wait for the falcons(champions) to protest before releasing their entitlements.
What if there there was no protest at all??......#justthinkingaloud#

Shame

Better

Bunch of useful NFA/FG..

Tank God, atleast those girls can now travel for Xmas as e suppose be..
