Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick. Reported that his administration is trying to figure out the debts they own Super Eagles players and coaches.

However, he accepted that, the federation was dealing with financial challenges amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

While national coaches wages and benefits have been reduced. Then coach Gernot Rohr is owed a salary of five months.

Therefore, goalkeeper coach, Alloy Agu, is waiting for 22 months of overdue pay. While 19 months of bonuses and allowances have not yet been earned by the Super Eagles stars.

"Things have been difficult for our sponsors, Aiteo, who are responsible for the cost of coaches, with the pandemic and challenges facing oil companies," Pinnick told BBC Sport.

But we have agreed to pay Alloy [Agu] nine months of his salary, which will be worked out from what we have left, and coach Gernot too. We don't want to owe it, and that's the attitude I came across in the NFF.
