ABUJA – Minister of Sports
and Youth Development, Mr.
Solomon Dalong Thursday said
that government has not been
able to pay the allowances of
the Super Falcons because
their victory in Cameroon was
not expected.
Recall that the team on
Saturday won the 2016 African
Women Cup of Nations but
had not been paid their
allowances.
Speaking to State House
Correspondents after a private
meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari at the
presidential Villa, Abuja,
Dalong said that there was no
money readily available to pay
them.
He however said that efforts
were being made to find
solution to the matter.
He said: “It is unfortunate that
we are celebrating victory of
the Super Falcons amidst
some bitter feelings among the
players because of some
administrative lapses that were
not managed properly because
if the situation was explained
to these girls, I don’t think the
situation would have gotten to
this level.
“They have stamped their
authority and dominance over
football in the continent,
having consistently won the
trophy eight times.
“After the girls came back
from Cameroon, we had
launched with them and they
were in high spirits, the
communication gap in trying
to convey the situation to
them could have been what
led to it.
