Oliseh: NFF owes me N111m, Denies Receiving N20m Salary
The immediate past Super Eagles’ Coach, Sunday Oliseh, has claimed that the Nigeria Football Federation are still owing him N111 million.
The amount covers medical expenses, match bonuses and allowances incurred during his six-month reign as the national team’s gaffer.
Oliseh stated this in a letter addressed to the Secretary General of the NFF and made available to The Eagle Online on Tuesday.
In the final breakdown, the gaffer is demanding the payment of $10,000 being the winning match bonus against Swaziland; daily allowance for nine days, which totaled $3,600; food for Chan Eagles at $3,700; flight ticket refund for Chan Camping in Pretoria, South Africa; Chan winning bonus and draw at $6,000; while his medical expenses is put at $11,200.
Though, the former Super Eagles skipper has ordered his lawyers to withdraw a suit against the NFF, but he could drag them to the World football governing body, FIFA, if they fail to pay the money owed him.
Oliseh, in his letter to the NFF, gave a 10-day grace to effect payment and the deadline lapses on Wednesday.
The coach also denied being paid N20 million a day before tendering his resignation letter to the NFF.
He said he was only paid N13 million as salary for the month of December 2015 to February 2016, and the another N5 million for his accommodation while in the country.
It can be recalled the coach quit his post last month after accusing his employers of lack of support to him and the Super Eagles players.
