Captain of the Super Eagles team, Wilfred Ndidi, has offered to sort out the unpaid bonuses of the squad, amid a delay in payment from the Nigerian government.
Ndidi has pleaded with his teammates not to boycott training ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against Algeria on Saturday.
Eric Chelle’s men initially refused to travel to Marrakech ahead of the game, but have now made the trip while expecting their outstanding bonuses to be paid.
“I’ve been pushing the team to train and play the game vs Algeria. I’ve been doing this since the second game,” Ndidi said.
“I’ve now made a commitment to the staff and players that I’ll personally pay the bonuses if the authority fails to before Saturday.
“I don’t want these unpaid bonuses to affect our preparations. I told players and coaching staff that I’d personally make the payments if they don’t get it.”
