President Bola Tinubu has given approval for the payment of N12 billion to clear outstanding payments for Nigeria’s national teams in various sports.
The funds will cover a range of financial obligations, including the clearing of senior national team coach salaries for up to 15 months, allowances, and promises due to the senior national teams, female teams, and the Under-20 national team.
This decision comes as the Super Eagles of Nigeria are gearing up to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to begin later this month.
The approval reflects a commitment to addressing financial obligations and supporting the country’s national teams in their sporting endeavors.
