Buhari To Redeem 30-year Pledge To Eaglets by handie(m): 6:24am On Nov 11, 2015
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has assured 1985 Golden Eaglets, who first won the U-17 World Cup, that his administration will fulfill the promises made 30 years ago during a reception held at Dodan Barracks with the players, in celebration of their outstanding victory.

In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari said he decided to fulfill the pledge, having been informed that a directive, which he gave to the state governments at the time had not been complied with.

“It is a pity that those promises were never fulfilled. It is unfortunate that our players, who did us proud on the world stage went unrewarded for their efforts, despite a presidential directive to the state administrators that they be honored in their home states.”

According to Shehu, of the various promises made to the players at the time, only the Federal Government fulfilled its own commitment by sponsoring the players on a trip to watch the 1986 World Cup, which took place in Mexico. The houses, scholarships and naming of streets after each player were supposed to have been catered for by the states.

The Presidential media aide noted that shortly after the commitment was given, General Muhammadu Buhari was replaced, and despite repeated representations made to succeeding governments by the players and their officials, the promises were left unfulfilled.

“I apologize for whatever embarrassment and disillusionment in your country these raised and then dashed hopes may have caused you. My government will do all within its power to remedy the situation”, he assured.

Whatever the Presidency reward them with, confering of national honours shouldn't be part of it.

Our leaders seem to not realise the heightened importance of incentives. It's no wonder the polity is as rowdy.

Rewards and punishments ensure orderliness, increase job performances and discourage bad behaviour.

We should never forget to reward those who have brought us honor for anything else in the world, regardless what!

All that's required is to show a sense of acknowledgement. Some of these guys are much richer than however much prize the government will offer them. An act of gratitude goes a long way, really!

God certainly didn't make him this way. He was given brain but along the way, he sold it and sent the money to Nnamdi Kanu for the Biafran cause

Hmmm, it's taking booohari 30 years to fulfill promises cheesy cheesy! This is to say Nigerians should not expect him to fulfill any of his electioneering campaign in the nearest future.
