Months after their historic Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) triumph, Nigeria’s Super Falcons are still waiting for the Federal Government’s pledged rewards to materialize.

The Falcons, led by captain Rasheedat Ajibade, pulled off a stunning comeback against Morocco, clinching a 3-2 victory and securing their record-extending 10th WAFCON title. In the aftermath of their victory, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced a generous reward package — $100,000 and a three-bedroom apartment for each player, and $50,000 plus the same housing benefit for the technical crew.

However, speaking on Chude Jideonwo’s podcast, Ajibade disclosed that none of the promised funds or apartments have been delivered.

> “We have not received our money. Hopefully, it would be paid. They have not paid — all the promises, we have not received anything,” she said, adding that the fulfillment of these promises will be publicly announced when it happens.

For now, the champions wait — their gold medals in hand, but the government’s golden promises still out of reach.
