Just-In! Tinubu Rewards Flamingos Players With N100m Each

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rewarded Nigeria’s victorious Flamingos U-17 women’s national football team with a financial package following their historic triumph at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

This was made known by First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on behalf of the President, while receiving the players, coaches and officials of the team at the Presidential Villa.

According to the First Lady, each player will receive a N100 million savings certificate deposited with GTBank, while the team’s head coach will receive N100 million in cash.

Members of the technical crew will also receive N50 million each in cash in recognition of their contributions to the team’s success.

Explaining the decision to give the young players savings certificates rather than immediate cash, Mrs Tinubu said the arrangement was intended to keep the money in trust for them, considering their young age.

She commended the players and officials for their collective efforts in bringing honour and pride to Nigeria, describing their achievement as the beginning of greater celebrations.

The First Lady also encouraged the players to remain prayerful and remember their faith, recalling how they stood together in worship during their journey to victory.

She congratulated the team and prayed for God’s blessings upon the players and the Federal Government.
