Niger State, Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu on Tuesday doled out a total of N20M to players and officials of the Golden Eaglets as well as the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for winning the FIFA Under-17 World Cup for an unprecedented fourth time.
The Talban Mina at a dinner banquet in honour of the team at the Hon. Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre in Minna on Tuesday as part of activities marking his 58th birthday anniversary said Nigerians should be proud of the Eaglets’ stellar performance in the UAE. He said it was gratifying to note that the team was exemplary throughout the competition and therefore deserved to be celebrated.
Meanwhile, Golden Eaglets have felicitated with the Chief Servant on his birthday anniversary praying for God’s guidance in his future endeavours.
”We are very grateful to the Chief Servant,” said Niger-State born Salihu Ali-Baba who spoke on behalf of the team.” In the Holy Quran, anybody who appreciates others should be appreciated and celebrated and we thank the Chief Servant for this good gesture to us.”
