Buhari Gives N2m Each To Under-16 Football Team, Fulfills 31-Year-Old Promise by quotequote(op): 11:58am On Jan 21, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday rewarded members of the nation’s Under-16 Football Team that won the 1985 FIFA Championship when he was military Head of State.
He announced a reward of N2m each to the players that included Fatai Atere, Nduka Ugbade, Jonathan Akpoborie, Baldwin Bazuaye, Victor Igbinoba and late Kingsley Aikiobare among others.
Buhari announced the rewards at a presidential reception organised for outstanding athletes/officials who did Nigeria proud in recent sports competitions.
The event was held inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari however caused a stir when he first mistakenly announced rewards of N200m each for the players.
Amidst excitement in the hall, Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, mounted the podium to correct the error

Sometimes i wonder if buhari is a Nigerian because of his character of integrity, sincerity and uprightness. God why didn't you give buhari to us sooner than this and instead cursed us with a clueless person. Anyway, God 'nose' best.

Thanks to the Federal Government for remembering their promise to the National heroes who put Nigeria's name in the history of football.

Congrats to all heroes who do their best to give this country a better name. You guys are priceless and will always be in our hearts.

THE LABOUR OF OUR HEROES PAST SHALL NEVER BE IN VAIN.

The winners of 1985 get N2m each after 30 years

The winners of 2015 get N20k (according to trentonline); I suppose 2015 winners will get their proper gift of N2m in 2045 grin grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy
