FG Fulfils 31-Year-Old Housing Promise to 1994 Super Eagles Squad
The Federal Government has finally fulfilled its 31-year-old promise of housing allocations to members of the 1994 Super Eagles squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development disclosed the development in a statement posted on its website on Wednesday.
Former striker Efan Ekoku, one of the beneficiaries, received an allocation letter for a house in Abuja. He was represented at the ceremony by his niece, Lisa Jenifer Nwagbogun.
The letter was presented by Pemi Temitope, Director and Head of Department, Public Building and Housing Development, on behalf of the Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
Temitope described the gesture as part of the government’s commitment to honouring the patriotic service of the 1994 squad, which brought glory to the nation.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the implementation of the housing pledge in 2022, nearly three decades after it was first made.
Housing units are being distributed to team members in various states, with some, including Ekoku, receiving theirs in Abuja.
