Get to the Finals and recieve $100,000 - Minister tells Super Eagles "B"

Super Eagles have been told to beat Ghana in their semi-final clash on Wednesday and receive $100,000. The players got a similar offer before their pulsating quarter-final clash against the Atlas Lions of Morocco on Saturday. Eagles came from behind to win the match 4-3.

The Minister of Sports Bolaji Abdullahi, who applauded the fighting spirit of the Nigerian players. announced the fresh offer on Sunday. The offer is independent of their match-win bonuses from the Nigeria Football Federation.

Abdullahi said the team showed passion, discipline and commitment, which are hallmarks of the Nigerian spirit.

“With the kind of overwhelming joy that followed the victory across our country, one cannot but feel that perhaps, these players are destined to win the trophy,” Abdullahi said.

The minister then added that the players would get the first package  of the money before their next match on Wednesday.
