President Bola Tinubu has announced a reward of N100 million for each member of Nigeria’s Under-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos, following their historic FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup triumph in Morocco.

The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, announced the reward on Wednesday when the players and their coaching staff visited the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

She explained that the money would be placed in trust for the young players in selected banks.

The reward package also includes N100 million for the team’s head coach, Busari Hakeem, while each member of the technical crew will receive N50 million.

The Flamingos secured their first-ever FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup title after defeating Japan 2-1 in the final in Morocco.
