The Presidency has come to the aid of the Super Falcons following the disgraceful way they were treated by the NFF.
The Super Falcons players protesting at the National Assembly gate
The protesting Super Falcons have returned to their Agura Hotel,
Abuja after the Presidency promised to pay the money owed them by the
Nigeria Football Federation on Friday.
The female national team members who protested at the National Assembly gates on Wednesday
morning with placards over the non-payment of their allowances by the
Nigerian Football Federation, had some days ago, won the 10th African
Women Cup of Nations, beating hosts Cameroon 1-0 in an explosive final
in Yaounde.
It was a record eighth title for the Nigerian ladies who instead of
being honoured and celebrated were ridiculed as their allowances were
denied them forcing them to protest.
It is believed each player is entitled to about $25,000.
The girls, however, returned to their hotel after the Chief of
Staff to President Buhari, Abba Kyari, addressed them and promised to
offset their bills in two days.
