The federal government of Nigeria has fulfilled its housing and land pledge made to the Super Eagles after their performance at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
The Super Eagles finished second at the 2023 AFCON, which
was held in 2024, losing 2-1 to the hosts in the final.
Upon their arrival in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu, while
receiving the players at the Presidential Villa, conferred the Member of the
Order of Niger (MON) on every member of the squad.
The president also granted each player a plot of land in the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and a flat for their feat.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said the players have
received certificates for the promised land and houses.
The federation said the players were handed the documents at
the camp in Fez, Morocco, on Monday.
The Super Eagles begin their 2025 AFCON campaign on Tuesday
against Tanzania. The team will then take on Tunisia on December 27 before
facing Uganda in the final group match three days later.
