The newly crowned African Women's football champions had refused to vacate their hotels in Abuja in protests of the Nigerian Football Federation's failure to pay their bonuses following their win over Cameroon. The team claim that the NFF has not paid their allowances, match bonuses and salaries of their coaches that have accrued for over eight months. On Wednesday, the players staged a protest at the gates of the National Assembly to press for the payment of their unpaid bonuses.
