Senate President Bukola Saraki has gifted Super Eagles’ players and the officials the sum of 50,0000USD (about N18m) to help boost their morale for the Mundial.
Saraki gave out the money on Tuesday and pledged undisclosed monetary reward for every unreplied goal the team scored at the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The senator described Coach Gernot Rohr led Eagles as the best set ever and a team without faction.
“I have been following the performances and general behaviour of this squad. I must confess that I am very impressed. We no longer have schisms and different camps in the same camp, and you sacrifice a lot for the country without demanding so much before you go to battle.
“From the captain, Mikel Obi to the newest member of the squad, I assure you of the love of the entire country and the well –wishes of every Nigerian as you go to the FIFA World Cup and in fact, in all your endeavours,” he said.
