Coach has not been paid for six months, goalkeeper trainer is demanding over 17 months in salaries, while players are unhappy over unpaid bonuses and wages.

The financial woes of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have left everyone in the Super Eagles setup disgruntled over unpaid salaries, bonuses and wages.

The players are also not left out, with their total bonus and allowances still not been paid.

The issue puts the NFF in a precarious situation ahead of the Super Eagles upcoming friendly games against Cameroon and Mexico in June and July, respectively.

The delay and non-payment of wages and bonuses have been a lingering issue with the Super Eagles.

The players were about to protest before an awful 4-4 draw at home to Sierra Leone in November 2020, scuppered their plan.

NFF boss Amaju Pinnick in January 2021, spoke on the situation and revealed that the federation he leads had been left cash-strapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, he stated that it was the government's responsibility to pay the players and assured that president Muhammadu Buhari was working on it.
