GOVERNOR Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has financially rewarded Super Falcons head coach Justine Madugu for his leading role in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) triumph in Morocco last week.
Madugu, an indigene of Adamawa State, guided the Super Falcons to their 10th WAFCON title, as they came back from two goals down to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 in last Saturday’s final in Rabat.
Governor Fintiri gifted Madugu N50 million and a three-bedroom bungalow for his achievement, as announced today.
In a Facebook post, Fintiri’s media team said the governor hosted Madugu at the government house in Yola.
Madugu, who hails from Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa, was also named Coach of the Tournament, his first major competition as Super Falcons boss.
The coach has also been rewarded by President Bola Tinubu, as he and his technical crew were each promised $50,000 for the WAFCON success.
Tinubu, during the reception for the champions at Aso Rock on Monday, also pledged $100,000 each to the 24 Super Falcons squad members to Morocco, along with three-bedroom apartments in Abuja and the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) national honour.
The Governors Forum, some Super Eagles players and companies based in Nigeria have also rewarded the Super Falcons with cash and other gifts.
