He also stated that “each player received N350,000 as training camp allowance for the Algeria match after the stipend was increased from N20,000 a day to N50,000. They also got cash for Lagos-Abuja return

However, what is not clear or yet to be ascertained is if the money will be paid in US dollars as the team have demanded or in local currency and at what conversion rate.
