Eagles will get $30,000 each for reaching the AFCON quarterfinal, while sponsors and businessman Aliko Dangote will also splash on the team.
Nigeria defeated Ethiopia 2-0 in last group game on Tuesday to book a quarterfinal match-up against cote d’Ivoire on Sunday.
Team secretary Dayo Enebi will hand over the qualification bonus to Eagles who are still basking in the euphoria of their qualification on Wednesday.
Officials have already promised more financial windfall.
Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi who gave the team $100,000 has also told them that Dangote has promised them a huge sum of cash if they advance to the last eight of the tournament.
Team sponsors Guinness have also promised $5,000 for each goal scored by Eagles and so they have so far fetched $10,000 after their 2-0 win over Ethiopia. [MTNFootball]
