WAFCON 2024: Ajibade says Super Falcons are yet to receive President Tinubu’s $100k gift.

Super Falcons Captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, says that the team is yet to receive the $100,000 cash gift promised by President Bola Tinubu after winning the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) tournament. 

Ajibade made this known earlier this week, noting that despite the promise, they have not received the money or any of the other promised rewards, including houses and national honours, expressing hope that they will be redeemed soon.

The team's victory in Morocco was celebrated by the government, with President Tinubu conferring national honours on the players and announcing the rewards.

The same rewards were later announced for the women's basketball team, D'Tigress, a week after the Super Falcons' celebration, and the delay in fulfilling the promises has raised concerns, with the players eagerly awaiting the payment of the promised rewards.
