Africa champions, Super Falcons of Nigeria stormed the National Assembly, Abuja protesting their unpaid allowances.

The players carried placards to the National Assembly with the hope that President Muhammadu Buhari who was due to visit the National Assembly to present the estimates of the 2017 budget to lawmakers, would see them and pay them their money.

Their placards read; “We are your children, pity us”; “Let us respect women, female football deserves respect.” Each of the players is entitled to about $25,000. However, Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Buhari addressed them and promised that the government will pay them in two days.

Besides, President Paul Biya of Cameroon has hosted and honoured the female Cameroonian team that the Super Falcons defeated to become African champion.
