Nigeria U23 players have lamented that they have not been paid a kobo following the promise made by top officials of the. National sports ministry.
The Dream Team VI, which booked their ticket to the Rio Olympic Games taking place next year are being owed match bonuses and allowances, which the ministry had promised to clear, apparently, it hasn't.
“I can tell you on good authority that the team will now receive their cash right there in Senegal,” a top official disclosed.
The Siasia led boys will face Algeria in the final of the AFCON U23 championship in a group B rematch, to decide the champion of the tournament.
Nigeria have defied the non-payment of their allowances and bonuses to reach the championship game of the U23 AFCON.
Dream Team VI trained for 10 days in The Gambia before they headed for the championship in Senegal and they have not received a dime since they departed Nigeria.
“We have not been paid a kobo yet,” had lamented a player of the team.
“We will continue to fly Nigeria’s flag in Senegal but God is watching us all.”
Coach Samson Siasia was generous to give each player $100 from his own pocket after they qualified for the U23 AFCON semis.
The team were also not paid a bonus for holding Congo Brazzaville in Pointe Noire to qualify for the U23 AFCON.
Siasia himself was queried for making public that he has not been paid for several months. Africanfootball
