The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has denied reports in some sections of the media which accuse the Federation's top officials of sharing in the salaries and allowances of coaches of national teams.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, NFF’s General-Secretary Musa Amadu described the insinuations as totally senseless and baseless. He therefore challenged proponents of the rumours to publicly provide evidence to support their claims.
"I want to say without mincing words that nobody in the NFF, not among Members of the Executive Committee, or the Management, o salaryr Staff, or the sub-Committees, have been sharing any money with any of our Coaches," Amadu said.
"I really want the persons vending these scandalous and scurrilous stories go to town with the facts available to them. We would like to see those facts.
"We pay all our Coaches what is due to them in salaries, allowances and bonuses. For salaries, they are paid less the appropriate Personal Income Tax and directly into their bank accounts. The said tax is then paid directly to the Federal Inland Revenue Service, and the records are there for anyone to verify,” he further explained.
Amadu slammed the purveyors of the rumours, and accused them of trying to derail Nigeria's 2014 FIFA World Cup plan after all other methods by the detractors have failed.
