The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has approved extra amount of money as performance/qualification bonus for the victorious home-based Eagles and their officials.
The reward came following the superlative performance of the team in their drawn game against Burkina Faso’s Etalons at the Stade August 4 on Sunday, which sent Nigeria into the draw for the Rwanda 2016 African Nations Championship.
Each player was entitled to the sum of $1,000 with each of the coaches earning more.
However, NFF 2nd Vice President/LMC chairman, Shehu Dikko, who led the Nigeria delegation to Ouagadougou, announced to the group that NFF President Amaju Pinnick had directed that players and officials be paid the full bonus, with the other half serving as qualification bonus.
The joyous delegation returned to Nigeria at 1.15am on Monday, aboard the same ARIK Air Bombardier Jet that flew them from Port Harcourt to Ouagadougou on Friday night.
The Super Eagles B join hosts Rwanda, Morocco, Tunisia, Angola, Zambia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mali, Guinea, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger Republic and Zimbabwe. Host of the inaugural edition of the competition in 2009, Cote d’Ivoire will host Ghana on Friday, while Cameroun will tackle Congo in Pointe Noire on Saturday, for the remaining two spots.
