Imo state governor Senator Hope Uzodimma has redeemed its pledge of N30m to six Super Falcons players who participated at the 2022 Africa Women Championship in Morocco who are from the state.
Governor Uzodinma announced a N5 million donation for each of them when they paid him a courtesy call at the Government House Owerri.
The beneficiary of the Government’s largess include: Desire Okparanozie, Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, Vivian Ikechukwu, Goalkeeper Tochukwu Oluehi, Ohale Osinachi and America born Michelle Alozie.
The governor said he was particularly touched by the display of football artistry exhibited by the women folk against their Moroccan competitors, noting that the six ladies not only did Nigeria proud but Imo state where they hail from.
The Super Falcons are currently in Australia where they are preparing for the FIFA Women’s World Cup kicking off on July 20th.
