Buhari orders payment of Falcons’ arrears

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday ordered the full payment of all 
outstanding accruable to the Super Falcons. 

The Falcons had won the African Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) trophy a fortnight ago. 
The team, which had been protesting non-payment of their allowances and 
bonuses arrears, had refused to leave their hotel rooms in Abuja to their various bases.     
Speaking with State House correspondents on Wednesday, the Chief of Staff 
to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari said that the issue had been 
resolved.

He said: “The problem has been resolved. They have done us proud and we 
congratulated them. The Ministries of Sports and Finance have been directed 
to pay tomorrow. 
“I don’t know the details of the arrears. But they have been directed to pay,” he added.  
Kyari, who earlier spoke with the players on Wednesday during their protest to Aso Villa gate, had urged them to return to their hotel rooms and that their arrears will be settled.  
The players led by team captain Rita Chikwelu had expressed their displeasure on the non-payment of their allowances and bonuses.
