President Muhammad Buhari has refused to give the boys the sum of N750,000 each after winning the FIFA U17 World Cup which took place in Chile this year.
It will be recalled that upon their arrival after winning the trophy,the boys were given N20,000 each and told to go home, while arrangement will be made by the Presidency to organize reception for the boys and reward them officially.
The National Sports Commission had presented a proposal to the Presidency, suggesting that the sum of N750, 000 be given to each of the player, but President Buhari has said No to it. He also informed them that the economy of Nigeria is not okay now and that next year is going to be rough, and the presidency has decided to cut cost.
The National Sports Commission has prepared another proposal, suggesting that the sum of N150, 000 be given to the boys, with hope that the hew proposal should be able to scale through.
