Nigeria's Super Falcons sends SOS to President, Sports Minister and NFF
Posted by FactNews | 7 years ago | 2,151 times
Nigeria national female football team, Super Falcons is currently staging a protest at the National Assembly Abuja.
The victorious Super Falcons won the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations and have not been paid due allowances since the victory two weeks ago.
It was the 8th time Nigeria won the competition.
According to eyewitnesses present at the scene of protest, the Nigerian ladies are asking for the full payment of their allowances as they will soon be thrown out of the hotel where they lodge.
But, the victorious team members have been held up in a hotel in Abuja, many days after they returned to the country with the trophy, owing to non-payment of their entitlements.
They protest daily on the streets of Abuja and have vowed never to leave the hotel until their allowances were paid.
The ladies are hoping that President Muhammadu Buhari, who is due to visit the National Assembly today to present the estimates of the 2017 budget to lawmakers, will see them and show pity on their plight.
Some of their placards read, “We are your children, pity us”; “Let us respect women”; “female football deserves respect.”
