President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, rewarded the Super Eagles of Nigeria with a national award (Member of the Order of the Niger, MON) flats in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and piece of land.
President Tinubu made the pronouncement when he received the players and officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja. The delegation is led by the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh.
The 25-man squad of the Super Eagles had earlier arrived in the Federal Capital Territory after their second-place finish at the just concluded African Cup of Nations final.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian team lost 2-1 to host nation, Cote D’Ivoire in the AFCON final at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan on Sunday.
