Well-known social media critic Daniel Regha has criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu, accusing it of improperly spending public funds by awarding each of the 24 Super Falcons players $100,000 and a three-bedroom apartment, along with $500,000 to the team’s technical staff.

Earlier on Monday, it was reported that President Tinubu had granted both monetary rewards and national honours to the Super Falcons for clinching victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), held in Morocco.

Responding via a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Regha expressed disapproval, questioning why such lavish rewards were given while many civil servants continue to face financial hardship.

Regha wrote: “Super Falcons did a good job representing Nigeria, but why is Tinubu’s govt or administration gifting the players $100k each with an added three-bedroom flat?

“After the entire team is to get 30 percent of the prize money? So the cash gifts will be coming from taxpayers’ money or the one borrowed?

“For a country that’s crippling with poverty, and where civil servants are struggling to make ends meet, how does this even sit well with anyone? Sorry, but this is a misuse of public funds,” he said.
