NFF President Ibrahim Gusau highlighted the importance of honoring these commitments, while NSC Chairman Shehu Dikko noted that this timely action marks a significant change from past practices, where rewards took years to be realised.
The prompt delivery of these pledges has been positively received in Nigerian football and is expected to boost morale as the Super Eagles prepare for future competitions, including the ongoing 2025 AFCON.
