reception in honour of the victorious Golden Eaglets, held at the Banquet Hall
of the Presidential Villa in Abuja
The President announced a cash reward of N2
million to each of the team’s 19 players. Jonathan also gave N3 million to the
head coach, Manu Garba, and N2.5 million each to the two assistant coaches,
Nduka Ugbade and Emmanuel
Amunike. The team’s doctor, physiotherapist,
secretary, and the Chief Technical
Officer were rewarded with N500,000 each.
Also, the Team Co-ordinator, Media Officer and
Curator were given N300,000 each. The President also said that the players, all
their handlers and some key officials of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club
would be given national honours at a later date.
Jonathan, who described the cash rewards as ”very
very little tokens” from the federal government, urged state governments, the
private sector and public-spirited individuals to follow the federal
government’s step in rewarding the eaglets.
