Olopade promises better pay for Super Falcons

Bukola Olopade, Director General of the National Sports Commission, has pledged enhanced pay for Nigeria's Super Falcons football team. The plans, to be announced soon, form part of the Federal Government's sports development strategy, which includes constructing neighborhood facilities and assisting states in improving their sports venues nationwide.

Olopade highlighted the Nigeria Netball Federation as an example of women's leadership, with a female president and nine out of its 13 board members being women. The netball team is set to debut in the Africa Netball Cup and the 2027 Netball World Cup qualifiers in Nairobi, Kenya. Olopade assured the D’Tigress, Nigeria's women's basketball team, of government support following their recent success on the continent.
