The Federal Government of Nigeria has taken concrete steps to honour its pledge to the Super Eagles, delivering the housing rewards promised after the team’s silver-medal finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
The gesture brings to fulfillment an assurance made in 2024, following Nigeria’s impressive campaign at the continental tournament, where the Super Eagles battled their way to the final before settling for second place at the Africa Cup of Nations 2023.
Government officials confirmed that the housing package, which formed part of the post-tournament rewards announced earlier in the year, has now been implemented. The move is seen as recognition of the players’ efforts and the pride they brought to the nation through their performances on one of Africa’s biggest football stages.
The Super Eagles’ run to the final reignited nationwide enthusiasm for the national team, with millions of Nigerians rallying behind the squad throughout the competition. Their resilience and consistency earned widespread praise, despite falling short in the final match.
By fulfilling the housing promise, the Federal Government has reinforced its commitment to supporting sports development and rewarding excellence, a move many stakeholders believe could further motivate athletes representing the country in international competitions.
