Players and authorities of the successful Super Falcons have debilitated to take their dissent to the doorsteps of President Muhammad Buhari if the Sports Ministry and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) kept on withholding their recompenses.
The group came back from Yaoundé on Sunday morning in the wake of winning their eighth African Women Nations Cup title by beating the hosts, Lionesses of Cameroon, 1-0 on Saturday.
They cleared out for Abuja on Sunday evening subsequent to eating with Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung and NFF President, Amaju Pinnick in a brief gathering sorted out by Emzor Pharmaceuticals, one of the league's patrons.
At the lunch, the players anticipated that the pastor would let them know when and how their remittances, including camp recompenses, winning rewards and nine months pay for the mentors, would be settled.
"The priest just let us know we will meet in Abuja and left with the 2.00 p.m. flight to the government capital. We came in a few hours after the fact and from that point forward, we have been holding up at Agura Hotel to get notification from either the clergyman or the NFF.
"In this way, if by the end of work today (yesterday) nothing originates from them, we may make our move. I don't know why this nation dependably needs individuals to humiliate it before doing the needful. We might be compelled to walk to the Presidential Villa or the Senate to enlist our grievances. "Take a gander at the way we were dealt with like vagrants in Cameroon. None of us could purchase anything for our friends and family back home on the grounds that there was no single kobo to do shopping. Is it reasonable?" the player inquired.
NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, had told The Guardian at the Murtala Mohammed Airport soon after the Super Falcons' landed on Sunday that the organization was destitute, including, notwithstanding, that they would do everything conceivable to make the players and authorities grin.
"You didn't give what you don't have," Pinnick addressed when squeezed to state precisely when the players and authorities would get their remittances.
He included, notwithstanding: "We will see what we can do to put blesses their countenances since they truly made the nation glad."
