In a significant move demonstrating unwavering support for Nigeria’s sports excellence, President Bola Tinubu has given the green light for the allocation of N12 billion to clear longstanding financial obligations owed to the country’s national sports teams. The announcement, disseminated through the official handle of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Media Center, outlines the comprehensive settlement that covers various aspects of overdue payments.
The approved funds specifically target the settling of senior national team coach salaries spanning 15 months, along with the payment of allowances and commitments owed to the senior national teams, the female squads, and the Under-20 national team. This decisive action comes at a crucial juncture as the Super Eagles gear up for their participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, slated to commence later this month.
