Youth and Sports Minister Barrister Solomon Dalung has charged the Nigeria Football Federation to pay the U-23 National team's Coach Samson Siasia.

The Minister gave the charge when Siasia paid him a visit Monday in his office in Abuja.

Siasia had visited with his wife Eunice to thank the Minister for his support to the Dream Team from Atlanta to Rio where they won Bronze in the football event of the Rio Olympics and to officially inform him that his contract with the NFF has ended.

Barrister Dalung directed the Secretary-General Dr Mohammed Sanusi who was also present to ensure that Siasia gets the arrears of his five month's salaries.

"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.
"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" Sanusi assured.

The Minister is expected to be on an NTA Programme Tuesday Live with Coach Samson Siasia today(Tuesday) to review events leading up to Rio and Nigeria's participation at the Games.

This minister know say everybody dey vex for am ........so he is trying to look benevolent towards siasia so as to get support on his side from the masses........minister of otu nzuzo

If what I read right now is true and for Siasia to visit him and thank him for his role at the Olympics it means alot and all we heard and read before about him re all false.. pay him he's salaries for a whole five months and other coaches you owe! He's contract has expired as agreed and you re saying he resigned so that you would see that as excuse not to pay him,,NFF has be exposed by the minister.. But you can hire foreign coach to be paid with dollars. It is obvious the minister is not in support of this so called inexperience foreign coach!

sport minster is not the one responsible for the payment of coaches, NFF body does, so tell NFF president to pay him.
If you read the post you would also see that the sport minister don't hire coaches, so who hires pays.

Simple english you cannot understand. All you guys know is criticize criticize whether you understand the topic or not. It is said here Siasia paid the minister a visit to thank him for his support during the Olympics.

Dalung the red cap minister. I read somewhere today that he ll soon be sacked

It means the minister iss exonerated from blames based on the happenings at Rio. Let them pay Siaisia and his crew.

You just destroyed my comment and put your quote inside my comment, i will sue you for it lo.
To the issue, is like you did not see what i stood for.... i only quoted who said the minister was looking for sympathy from Nigerians
by using soft words with saisia... and i said who visited each other ? what i mean is that how can Siasia visit him and you re saying such,
also see my comment above/below and see my full stand about the issue. I am not criticizing him i am supporting him on this
