Social media commentator Daniel Regha has slammed President Bola Tinubu over what he described as “misuse of public funds” after the President rewarded the Super Falcons with $100,000 each, a three-bedroom flat, and $500,000 for the technical team.

“Super Falcons did a good job representing Nigeria, but why is Tinubu’s govt or administration gifting the players $100k each with an added three-bedroom flat?
“After the entire team is to get 30 percent of the prize money? So the cash gifts will be coming from taxpayers’ money or the one borrowed?
“For a country that’s crippling with poverty, and where civil servants are struggling to make ends meet, how does this even sit well with anyone? Sorry, but this is a misuse of public funds,” he said.
