President Buhari who is currently fighting corruption has also
remembered to fulfill his 31 years old promise he made to Under 16
Nigeria Football Team when he was the military Head of States in 1985. Edeson Online News can authoritatively
report that the strict president rewarded members of the nation’s
Under-16 Football Team that won the 1985 FIFA Championship when he was
military Head of State.
He announced a reward of N2m each to the
players that included Fatai Atere, Nduka Ugbade, Jonathan Akpoborie,
Baldwin Bazuaye, Victor Igbinoba and late Kingsley Aikiobare among
others. The ceremony held inside the old Banquet Hall of the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari however caused a stir when he
first mistakenly announced rewards of N200m each for the players. Amidst
excitement in the hall, Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung,
mounted the podium to correct the error.
