The payment
of salaries was funded by, Aiteo Group, (official
partners of NFF) following the payment of the first batch of monies meant for
the payment of salaries of Coaches of the National Teams in the N2.5billion, 5-Year
partnership agreement with the foremost energy solution company.
NFF 2nd
Vice President/LMC chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, who is also Chairman of the
NFF Sponsorship, Marketing and Television Advisory Committee, told thenff.com
on Tuesday that from the first tranche of payment received from the energy
solution company, about N100million has been used to offset all outstanding salaries
of 27 coaches in all, including a number that had been owed for services rendered
during the tenure of previous administrations.

“It is
our joy that the coaches can finally smile to the bank. A labourer deserves his
wages, and that is why the present NFF administration worked assiduously hard
to ensure the realization of this partnership. The NFF is grateful to Aiteo
Group for this breakthrough in making our coaches happy.”
Following
the signing of the partnership agreement on 26th April 2017, the NFF put in
place a small panel headed by the Chairman of Technical and Development Committee,
Barr. Chris Green to scrutinize and harmonize the claims of the coaches and arrive
at the actual amounts owed each person.
A total
of 27 coaches turned up for the two –day exercise at the NFF Secretariat, Abuja,
and the payments began immediately after.
“The list
cuts across all the National Teams: From the coaches of the Super Eagles to the
coaches of the Beach Soccer National Team. Our joy is that each and every one
of them who turned up for the exercise is quite happy now,” Dikko affirmed.
