As Stephen Keshi prepares to lead the home-based Super Eagles
team against the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday in Kaduna,
reports on theBBCstate that the coach has not received his salary since
January.
The Nigeria Football Federation (Nff) Secretary General, Musa Amadu
told theBBC: “Between the federation and the coaching crew, we don't
have a problem.
"We've been working together withStephen Keshi
since November 2011 and he knows the peculiar financial situation of
things with the federation.
Keshi, as well as assistant coaches
Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shorunmu are being owed though Amadu believes
that this situation has not affected the coaches working relationship
with the NFF.
"We try as much as possible to pay our obligations, likewise the coach, and we've had a very good working relationship.
Amadu also said the coaches have not complained though some peoplemight want to make more of the unpaid salary situation.
"I
know the coach will not bring to the fore any such matters. Perhaps
there are people out there that want to capitalise on such matters to
create problems between the federation and the coach.
"But I know
that obligations to the coaching crew are always settled, and we do have
the understanding of the coaching crew in this regard."We appreciate
that understanding and right now the focus is not about what is being
written in the media but it is on the CHAN qualifiers,” Amadu added.
