Head coach of the Nigeria national team, Stephen Keshi is owed seven months salaries by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
.
In fact the Super Eagles trainer and members of his back room staff have not been paid salaries by the NFF since March 2013.
.
President of the NFF, Alhaji Aminu Maigari who was quizzed about this on Sunday confirmed the situation but also revealed that the "hands of the federation are tied" over the issue.
.
"It is true that Keshi has not been paid for the past seven months but the hands of the federation are tied over this matter. It's not as if we are hoarding this money and have refused to pay him. The NFF is in dire straits as far as financial resources are concerned. We have even had to slash the winning bonus of players of the Super Eagles from $10,000 USD to $5,000 USD as a result," Maigari exclusively told supersport.com.
.
The NFF chief then went on to reveal "several steps taken by the NFF to make Keshi's life easier" following the failure to pay his wages for the past seven months.
But this is very ridiculous. It's funny how no one knew until now. Something has to be done and FAST!
