We can't super falcons because we didn't expect them to win- Sports Minister

Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mr.
Solomon Dalung on Thursday said that
government has not been able to pay the
allowances of the Super Falcons because their
victory in Cameroon was not
expected,Vanguard reports.
.
.
Recall that the team on Saturday won the
2016 African Women Cup of Nations but had
not been paid their allowances.Speaking to
State House Correspondents after a private
meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at
the presidential Villa, Abuja, Dalong said that
there was no money readily available to pay
them. .
.
He however said that efforts were being made
to find solution to the matter.He said: “It is
unfortunate that we are celebrating victory of
the Super Falcons amidst some bitter feelings
among the players because of some
administrative lapses that were not managed
properly because if the situation was explained
to these girls, I don’t think the situation would
have gotten to this level.
They have stamped their authority and
dominance over football in the continent,
having consistently won the trophy eight
times. .
.
After the girls came back from Cameroon, we
had launched with them and they were in high
spirits, the communication gap in trying to
convey the situation to them could have been
what led to it."
