President Bola Tinubu has approved the full payment of allowances and match bonuses for the Super Falcons, ahead of their final clash with Morocco in the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The announcement was made yesterday by the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, who confirmed that all entitlements covering up to the July 26 final have been disbursed for immediate payment to players, coaches, and officials.
Dikko described the move as a show of policy in motion, highlighting President Tinubu’s renewed commitment to Nigerian athletes.
He affirmed that the same support also extends to D’Tigress, Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, who are gearing up for the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket tournament in Côte d’Ivoire.
Dikko said the goal is to build a sports system anchored on dignity, trust, and shared prosperity.
