Tinubu Rewards Flamingos with N100m Savings Bonds

President Bola Tinubu recognized Nigeria's Under-17 women's football team, the Flamingos, for their historic victory at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco by awarding each player a N100 million federal government savings bond. This announcement was made by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu during a reception at the State House in Abuja.

The savings bonds are intended to be preserved for the young athletes due to their age. In addition to the players' rewards, the coach will receive N100 million in cash, while each member of the technical crew will receive N50 million.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu emphasized the significance of the team's achievement, noting that they are the first African nation to win the title and that their success will inspire young girls and elevate women's football in Africa. She expressed gratitude to the parents and supporters of the players for their contributions to the team's success.
