The new financial cash policy of President
Mohammed Buhari prompted the Nigerian
Football Federation (NFF) to inform all
players to open an account with Nigerian
banks to receive their bonuses.
“We have been asked to open foreign
currency accounts with a bank where our
bonuses will now be paid,” a player
informed AfricanFootball.com
This new development will take effect from
next month’s World Cup qualifier against
Djibouti or Swaziland.
The direction is in line with President
Muhammadu Buhari’s new financial policy
as it concerns foreign currencies.
Before now, the Eagles and other national
teams were paid their bonuses in cash.
Former Minister of Sports, Tammy
Danagogo, flew to Brazil last year during
the World Cup with over $3million, to pay
the team appearance bonuses.
