Governor Alia Rewards Francisca Ordega With N50 Million, Apartment And Street Naming

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has honoured Super Falcons winger Francisca Ordega for her stellar performance at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

At a state reception in Makurdi earlier this week, Governor Alia announced a reward package that includes N50 million, a street named after Ordega, and a three-bedroom apartment in the heart of the state capital.

The governor praised the 31-year-old Al-Ittihad forward for bringing pride to Benue and serving as an inspiration to young athletes across the state and Nigeria.

Francisca Ordega has made Benue State and Nigeria proud. Her commitment, discipline, and talent deserve to be celebrated. This is our little way of saying thank you.

Before this, President Bola Tinubu had gifted Ordega a three-bedroom apartment in Abuja, cash prizes of $100,000, and conferred on her the national honour of Order of the Niger (OON).
