The Super Eagles have received more assurances from top officials that outstanding allowances and bonuses going as far as four years ago will be cleared soon.
Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, and his director-general Bukola Olopade both assured the Eagles they will be paid.
The officials met with the team after dinner Tuesday night.
Shehu Dikko assured the team that outstanding payments will be effected, while promising a special package for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, when they resume in March 2025.
Olopade told the players he is one official who fights for better welfare for athletes and would rather quit if he cannot deliver on that count.
Last week, NFF president Ibrahim Gusau gave a commitment that the team’s outstanding payments will be cleared by next month.
The Super Eagles have expressed their disappointment over these unpaid monies.
They refused to be part of a National Orientation programme after they lost 2-1 to Rwanda in Uyo.
It is on record that President Bola Tinubu released a total of 17 Billion Naira to clear the outstanding payments for the Super Eagles, the Flying Eagles, the Golden Eaglets and the Falconets.
