Stanley Nwabali is now N20 million richer after his impressive displays for the Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The cash was doled out to the goalkeeper by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Fubara also bestowed on Nwabali the honour of Distinguished Service Star of Rivers State.
The backroom staff of the Super Eagles were also not left out of the largesse as they were also rewarded with N30m.
Nwabali featured in all of Nigeria’s seven games in Cote d’Ivoire. READ ALSO:
