President Bola Tinubu has settled the long-standing debts owed by the Federal Government to the Super Eagles and other national sports teams.
The statement from Tinubu’s Media Centre confirmed that this payment covers a range of outstanding issues, including clearing 15 months’ worth of salaries for senior national team coaches, settling allowances and commitments owed to various national teams – including the female teams and the Under-20 national team.
The statement emphasized that President @officialABAT has given the green light for the clearance of a N12 billion backlog owed to Nigeria’s national sports teams, notably the Super Eagles, ahead of their participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations later this month.
More details are expected to follow shortly.
