President Buhari has ordered that the Ministry of Finance pays the Super Falcons their allowance.
The Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, confirmed the report, stating President Buhari had directed the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun,
and the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalung, to ensure
that the players were paid today.
Kyari, who just returned from a medical
trip abroad said, he had conveyed the president’s directive to the
players, who staged a protest to the gate of the Presidential Villa
earlier on Wednesday.
He said, “The problem has been resolved. The players did us proud. I congratulated them on the feat they achieved.
“I have also told them that all their entitlements would be paid latest by Thursday.
“We have called the Minister of Finance
as well as the Minister of Youth and Sports. They will be paid by
tomorrow (Thursday). The details, I don’t know.”
