The National Association of Nigeria Professional Footballers
has pleaded to the Nigeria Football Federation to release allowances meant for the aggrieved Super Falcons players.
According to the Association`s General Secretary,
Austin Popo, “Since the team came back from Cameroon, the
players have refused to vacate their hotel on grounds of unpaid salaries and
allowances, coupled with other unfulfilled promises.
“Promises from tournaments, ranging from the Olympic
qualifiers to the All African Games and now the African Women Championship,
remained unfulfilled.
“We believe this situation is avoidable with proper
dialogue, sensitivity and transparency on the part of the authorities.
“The union condemns a statement credited to the Minister of
Sports that adequate preparation was not made to offset the players’
entitlements because he did not expect them to win the AWCON Cup.
“The union wants the NFF to take responsibility by ensuring
the players and officials are paid their entitlements without further delay.
