Pay me my 5-months salary, Siasia begs NFF
U-23 Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has sent a passionate plea to the Nigeria Football Federation to pay his salaries and backlog of bonuses and allowances owed him and his players.
Speaking during a radio interview monitored in Lagos, Siasia said: “I am appealing to the NFF and the Sports Ministry to pay our salaries.”
He added that: “After the Olympics, that money will just go on voice mail,” Siasia said, meaning he will not be paid afterwards.
