The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has commended the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for its prompt payments of match bonuses and allowances due to the Super Eagles at the ongoing 34th Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cote d’Ivoire.
NFF also debunked the remour that the Apex Bank has delayed the payment of their bonuses.
“That is sheer idle talk without substance. The NFF is grateful to the CBN for the way and manner they have continued to expedite action on payment requests that we have sent to them with regards to this competition. It is unfair for anyone to concoct lies against the institution for whatever reasons.
“We have not experienced any delays or complication of processes at the CBN this time, and we give kudos to them for their diligence and great sense of duty,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said on Tuesday.
He also commended the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh for the commendable role he continues to play in ensuring that the welfare of Nigerian footballers, takes the number one position.
