President Bola Tinubu has cleared the outstanding payment that the Federal Government owed the Super Eagles and other sporting teams of the country.

According to a statement on the social media handle of Tinubu’s Media Centre, on Sunday, the payment entails the clearing of the senior national team coach salaries running up to 15 months, payments of allowances and promises due to the senior national teams, females, and Under-20 national team.

The statement reads, “President @officialABAT has approved the payment of N12 billion outstanding backlog for Nigeria’s National teams of various sports, which includes Super Eagles and others.

“The payment entails the clearing of the senior national team coach salaries running up to 15 months, payments of allowances and promises due to the senior national teams, females, and Under-20 national team.

“This is coming at a time when the Super Eagles of Nigeria are preparing to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, which is billed to start later this month.”

Also, in January 2022, Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa said FG owed his teammates bonuses for two games.

Musa disclosed this in a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday as the Super Eagles few days to the Nations Cup.

“Regarding the bonus, I think they are just owing us for two games now. Yeah, two games,” Musa said. “There is no other outstanding outside these two games.”

Musa added that the players will “be having a meeting with the coach and maybe the NFF officials so we can take the next step forward.”

Ahmed Musa's name still showed in many places in the report, this shows how much we have regressed in sport , what contribution is he making to the team apart from speaking to the press? Nigeria is expecting success in football but still uses expired product as building material to achieve success

He should also strengthen the naira because price of commodities is costly in every part of the country, that's common man concern now

You too are a Nigerian, go and wear your boots since anybody that is not from your tribe irritates you

I believe Nigeria shall be great again

Even though they might probably inflate this amount, at least, this is in the right direction if it's true.

Yet there is no money ooh.

Only God knows how much Tinubu go don cash out.

Ok

Is that priority? Over wage award to civil servants suffering from subsidy removal?

Take it or leave it:
He is the national team captain,
Highest world cup goal scorer for the national team,
And he has stated that he won't reject his nation's call anytime they need him.
Lastly he didn't put his name in the write up,his name was there because it was imminent.

Keep quiet if you dont know what to say. Ahmed musa was once a good player who should retire and leave the scene for other younger players.

Well done and thank you very much Mr. President. Continue with your good work and don't be distracted by non-appreciating and negative comments or reactions.
