The title winning tactician has expressed his
disappointment over his inability to access his
salaries in more than two years as a national team
coach.
Nigeria senior women's
national team head coach
Edwin Okon says he is yet to
receive any salary since he
was engaged 25 months ago.
Okon, who is also the head coach of Rivers Angels of
Port Harcourt, led the Super Falcons to emerge
champions for the seventh time at the African Women
Championship in Namibia on Saturday evening.
He replaced Kadiri Ikhana, who resigned after Super
Falcons failed to make the last three at the 2012
African Women Championship in Equatorial Guinea,
after he steered the Falconets to a fourth-place finish
at the 2012 Fifa U20 Women's World Cup in Japan.
Okon lamented the unfair treatment suffered in the
hands of his employers after not getting a dime since
that tournament ended.
"Since August 2012 when I led the Falconets to
the World Cup where we came fourth, up till today, I'm
yet to get a dime as salary from the NFF," he told
media.
"Every time I go to the office to complain, they will say
there is no money.
“At a time I learned that the Federal Government gave
the federation some money to pay [former men's
senior team coach Stephen] Keshi and other national
team coaches, but up till today my story is still the
same," he concluded.
Okon’s ladies successfully redeemed the image of the
country at the biennial eight-nation tournament where
they defeated Cameroon 2-0 and also qualified for the
2015 Fifa Women's World Cup in Canada.
Nigeria alongside neighbours Cameroon and Cote
d'Ivoire will represent Africa at the World Cup.
