The goalkeeper is now N20 million richer, a commendation bestowed upon him by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
In recognition of Nwabali’s outstanding contributions, Governor Fubara has also honored him with the Distinguished Service Star of Rivers State.

It’s not just the players who received recognition; the backroom staff of the Super Eagles were also beneficiaries of Governor Fubara’s generosity.
They were collectively rewarded with a commendable sum of N30 million, underlining the importance of their role in the team’s success.
Throughout Nigeria’s journey in Cote d’Ivoire, Nwabali exhibited remarkable consistency, featuring in all seven games.
His standout performance came in the semi-final against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, where he earned the Man of the Match accolade.
