He further revealed that documentation for the housing scheme has been completed.
“As I speak to you, I have in my possession all the Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) for the houses of the players in Lagos and Abuja for both the Super Eagles, Super Falcons and D’Tigress,” he added.
According to the NSC chairman, the national honours have also been finalised, while the financial aspect of the rewards is nearing completion.
