You Are An Incorrigible Liar, NFF President Debunks Claims Of None Payment Of Peseiro's Salaries

Akinkunle Bolarinwa

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau has debunked an online newspaper report that Peseiro’s salary was not paid all this while because the NFF insisted on the salary being paid first into the NFF’s account before the coach can be paid.

“There is no truth in that publication because the sports ministry did not at any time ask the NFF to furnish it with Peseiro’s account details. Why would he do such a thing? The coach is aware of the true situation and it is contrary to that report, ” Gusau explained.

He stated further that he demanded for the contract of Jose Peseiro immediately he resumed as the NFF president to ensure prompt payment of the Portuguese Salaries and entitlements.

“When I assumed office as President of the NFF, I demanded to see Peseiro’s contract and the approval by the Federal Government agreeing to pay the coach’s salary. But to my utter dismay, there was no approval. I was made to understand that the approval was verbal".

Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau said the Honourable Minister of Sports, Chief Sunday Dare was also surprised to know that the coach was not paid for a long while.

“This also surprised the Sports Minister who asked us to write to get the approval, this we have done since last year.

He concluded by saying that the NFF will continue to dialogue with the ministry of sports while waiting for the approval of Jose Peseiro's salaries.

"We are still waiting for the approval and subsequent payment of the salary of the Super Eagles’ coach".
