The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), is considering paying Super Eagles players their bonuses in naira, because of the shortage of US dollars in the country.
Although top officials of the federation are speaking to the Central Bank about getting the needed foreign exchange at the official rate, they have resorted to asking the players to open naira accounts with local banks as an alternative plan.
An NFF source, has lamented their inability to get forex at N197, which is the official rate and admitted they were not prepared to buy dollars at the parallel market.
Nigeria and Egypt will play each other in a double header on March 25 in Kaduna and March 29 in Alexandria.
