Players and
officials of the Super Falcons have been paid various sums of money as approved
by the Federal Government after the Nigeria Football Federation received the
sums on Friday.
“The bank accounts
of the players and officials are being credited as we speak. They will all
receive credit alerts of the monies due to them, as released by the Government,
before the end of the day,” NFF’s Head of Women’s Football, Ruth David.
The monies were for
the Super Falcons’ participation at the 10th Women Africa Cup of
Nations finals, which the team won after defeating hosts Cameroon 1-0 in the
final in Yaounde on 3rd December.
Also released by
the Federal Government were monies due to players and officials of the Super
Eagles for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Algeria, played in
Uyo last month.
A breakdown of the
Super Falcons’ monies showed that each player got the sum of N5,494,500, less
the sum of N600,000 that was earlier paid to each of the players at various
times by the NFF. The amount is at the rate of $17,900 (converted to naira at
the official rate of N305 to $1), plus the sum of N15,000 camp allowance and
N20,000 transport allowance. All the monies were converted at the official rate
of N305 to $1.
Head Coach Florence
Omagbemi got a total of N11,014,000 (less the sum of N800,000 paid to her
earlier), while assistant coaches Ann Chiejine, Perpetua Nkwocha and Bala
Mohammed, as well as the backroom staff were N8,274,250 richer, less the
N500,000 earlier paid to each of them.
