Governor Yahaya Bello pushes equal pay for Super Falcons
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has highlighted the gap in pay between the Nigerian men's national team and women, in an event marking International Women's Month.
Bello, who was a special guest of honour at the occasion themed, "I choose to challenge gender inequality in football" on Saturday, described the discrimination against women's teams as unacceptable.
The Super Falcons are one of the most successful national teams in the world with a record nine continental titles but only receive $3,000 as winning bonuses compared to the men's $10,000.
