The dream team were rewarded by Japanese Surgeon Dr. Katsuya Takasu, for their victory clinching bronze medal at the just concluded Rio Olympics by the sum of $190,000.
Some of the players are already voicing their concern as not yet been credited. The cheque which is in possession of captain John Mikel Obi is yet to be cleared due to some logistic reasons.
Players of the team who spoke on condition of anonymity said, the cheque presented by the donor Dr. Takasu is yet to be cleared by Mikel. A player of the team said;” Skippo (Mikel) is yet to clear the cheque, hence we are yet to receive alert but it’s fine although we are anxious to hear from him."
