“The memo from the minister of sports is about 280 million naira to cover for all the coaches in the Super Eagles who are being owed about seven months or so,” a source in the Presidency informed

“The amount also includes the outstanding owed former Flying Eagles coach John Obuh.”

Obuh’s unpaid salaries are put at over 25 million Naira and date back to 2010. This year, the former Flying Eagles coach petitioned the Senate over his unpaid salaries.
