The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have blamed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the delay in the payment of bonuses and camp allowances of the Super Eagles at the AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire.
The only payment received by the Super Eagles was camp allowance to cover the training camp in Dubai and part of their stay in Cote d’Ivoire.
The camp allowance is $200-a-player daily and the officials have yet to receive any payment.
“The NFF have done their own part and it is now left for the CBN to do theirs,” a source informed SCORENigeria in reference to the non-payment of the entitlements of the Super Eagles.
The Super Eagles are due $5,000-a-man for a win bonus.
This means they are to be paid $12,500 each for the two wins and a draw they recorded in the group stage of the competition.
The Federal Government has supported the Super Eagles to win a fourth AFCON title by approving for outstanding bonuses and allowances dating as far as 2021 to be cleared, while a special intervention grant was also approved for the country’s participation at the AFCON.
