“Government will decide Super Eagles bonus” – Maigari

NFF President Aminu Maigari, has said that the final decision on the Super Eagles bonus, will be taken by the Federal Government.

The players went on strike few days before the FIFA Confederations Cup and threatened not to travel, until the NFF paid them their full bonuses.

The government intervened in the matter back then, but the NFF have insisted that they don’t have the finances to continue paying that amount.

“For now, the bonus is back to $5000,” Maigari told KickOffNigeria. “But we are waiting for government to decide.

“Whatever the government decides is what we will do.

“If government says $10000, they will give us the $10000. If they say go back to status quo, then fine, that is what we will do.

“But it’s a matter of being patriotic, and love for your country. I ask them to first put the country in mind. Money comes after.”
