In a massive morale boost, BUA Group chairman and founder Abdul Samad Rabiu has pledged a whopping $500,000 plus other juicy bonuses to Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of their dominant 2-0 quarter-final thrashing of Algeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
With the semi-final showdown looming, Rabiu’s generosity aims to fire up the squad for a shot at continental glory.
In a statement posted on Saturday via his personal X handle, Rabiu congratulated the team, saying, “Congratulations to our Super Eagles players on a brilliant victory against Algeria! You have lifted the spirit of the nation, and we proudly cheer you on as you prepare for the semi-finals.”
He added incentives for the upcoming matches, promising, “To encourage you, I pledge USD $500,000 to the players upon winning the semi-final, with an additional USD $50,000 for every goal scored. Should you go on to win the final, I further pledge USD $1,000,000, plus USD $100,000 for each goal scored in the final.”
Rabiu concluded his message by urging the players to continue making Nigerians proud: “Wishing you continued success as you carry Nigeria forward. Keep making Nigeria proud. Proudly Nigerian.”
Nigeria clinched a spot in the semi-finals with a dominant 2-0 victory over Algeria at Stade de Marrakech on Saturday, January 10, 2026.
The Super Eagles now gear up for a blockbuster clash against host nation Morocco in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final, set for Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
