FG Finally Redeems House Pledge To ’94 Eagles by NaijaphiliaBlog(op): 11:17pm On Jun 25, 2025

After 31 years, the Federal Government of Nigeria has finally fulfilled its pledge of house allocations to members of the Super Eagles that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia.

This was announced on Wednesday 25 June 2025 via a statement on the website of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

During a brief ceremony, former striker Efangwu Goziem Ekoku (one of the beneficiaries) represented by his niece Lisa Jenifer Nwagbogun, was presented with an allocation letter for a house in Abuja.

Pemi Temitope, Director/HOD Public Building and Housing Development, presented the letter on behalf of the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Architect Ahmed Musa Dangiwa.

Temitope described the move as part of government’s commitment to reward the patriotic service of the team, which brought honour to Nigeria 31 years ago.

The houses are being allocated to members of the team in various states while some are receiving theirs in Abuja.

Nigerian sportmen and women, taking up other country's citizenship to further their careers is well justified.

Tinubu tried on this. But this is wickedness on the side of previous Nigerian government to not have fulfilled their promise for good 31 years.

After 31 year's of waiting.
About 5 members of that squad have died.
Including their iconic Legendary captain Stephen Keshi.
Other countries that won the CAF Nation's cup does it also take them 31 year's to redeem their promise to their player's?
Now is obvious why the likes of Obafemi Martins and Sunday Olise refused their son's to play for Nigeria.
Nigeria is not worth dieing for.
Enjoy your house's great footballer's.

Congratulations to them all
It was indeed victory at last
But come to think of it

Delay can be denial

Those who had died among them will not enjoy this, it will be enjoyed by their kinsmen and family

I hope you don't mind if we all wish and pray that your benefits and entitlements (if such a person as you can ever have any) are also paid 31 years after.

are you not tired of wailing?
Tinubu is trying to right the wrongs of the past leaders through this gesture. Same thing he is doing with the accrued pension benefit for federal retirees under the CPS whose accrued benefits date back to pre 2004.

It is important to criticise but can you do so like someone with a brain?

Past leaders (both military and civilian) didn't prioritise the need to redeem their pledge but here we have someone who is trying to do the right thing, yet agenda must agend for wailers.

Let's criticise government where they are failing and appreciate them where they are getting it right. Perpetual complaining in all situation (good or bad) is actually a mental illness.
