The Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, has been charged by the Youth and Sports Minister, Barrister Solomon Dalung, to pay the U-23 National team's Coach, Samson Siasia.
Siasia had paid a visit to the Minister's office with his wife on Monday to officially inform him about the expiration of his contract, when Dalung gave the charge.
"Please pay him his five months' salaries. They said he has resigned but he just said that his contract expired after the Olympics. His contract expired but you are owing him 5 months' salaries and you have gone to employ a foreign coach and will pay him in dollars. It means you don't like yourselves and nobody will sympathize with you. Please spare me the stress of talking about this salary issue or going to war with you on it. Please pay him and other coaches their outstanding salaries" Dalung said.
The Secretary-General of the Nigeria Football Federation Dr Sanusi however said that efforts were already being made to pay the coaches their salaries.
Sanusi said, "We have held meetings and we are waiting for the money to drop. The money is already there in our account but we need to regularize the TSA procedures before we can claim the money. We are almost through with the process. Once that is concluded, we will pay them."
