How First Lady’s Announced Reward for Each Flamingos Player is Structured

According to The Punch, Nigeria’s victorious U-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos, have received a major financial reward from President Bola Tinubu following their historic FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup triumph.

The reward was announced by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Wednesday during a reception held in honour of the team at the State House, Abuja.

Under the package, each player will receive a Federal Government Savings Bond worth N100 million.

However, the funds are structured as a long-term investment and will only become accessible to the players when they reach adulthood, allowing them to benefit from the investment as they grow older.

The team’s head coach will also receive N100 million, while each member of the technical crew will be rewarded with N50 million.

The gesture recognises the Flamingos’ remarkable achievement in becoming the first African team to win the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup after defeating Japan 2-1 in the final in Morocco.
