Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari, is set to honour all athletes that won different medals for the nation in various international sporting tournaments in 2015, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung has said. He said the President would host the athletes at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, January 21.
Among those yet to be rewarded are the Golden Eaglets of 1985, who were promised houses for winning the maiden edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in China and the current FIFA U-17 world champions.
Others are the victorious national men's Basketball team who won the 2015 FIBA Africa Basketball Championship in Tunisia, Team Nigeria at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa, and World Scrabble Champion, Wellington Jighere.
In November last year, President Buhari assured the 1985 batch of Golden Eaglets that his administration would fulfill the promises made 30 years ago.
The promises were made during a reception held at Dodan Barracks with the players, in celebration of their outstanding victory.
In a statement on November 10 by a spokesman for the President, Mr Garba Shehu, Buhari said it had been brought to his attention that a directive which he gave to the state governments at the time had not been complied with.
"It is a pity that those promises were never fulfilled," he said.
