Nigerian President Bola Tinubu hailed the women's national football team for their victory at the recent Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) at a grand celebratory reception where he promised them gifts and cash rewards.
Hosting them at Aso Rock, the presidential residence, on Monday, Tinubu announced each player would get $100,000 (£75,000) plus a three-bedroom apartment.
The 24-woman squad cheered when they heard the news, but there have been criticism in the past that prizes promised by Nigerian governments have not materialised.
Nigeria's Super Falcons - as the team is known - defeated hosts Morocco 3-2 on Saturday in a stunning second-half comeback, clinching their 10th Wafcon title.
Tinubu said the victory was a "triumph of courage, determination and consistency" adding that at some point he "didn't want to watch the match" because of the stress.
